【常識粉々!】科学も"神話"な理由ー天才哲学者が暴いた衝撃の実態【クワイン】

Why can your smartphone and even the laws of science be considered "myths"? This book provides a thorough explanation of W.V.O. Quine's landmark 20th-century philosophical essay, "The Two Dogmas of Empiricism." Quine, an unconventional philosopher who also worked in code-breaking during World War II, ruthlessly dismantles two dogmas that everyone accepted without question: the distinction between analytic and synthetic truth, and reductionism. He makes the shocking assertion that our knowledge is not a collection of independent facts, but a interconnected "holism" of beliefs. When faced with contradictions, we choose where to adjust this holism based on criteria such as "conservatism" and "simplicity"—but what if even the laws of logic are modifiable? And what does it mean for "physical objects" and "Zeus" to occupy the same epistemological status? This book clearly explains Quine's true meaning behind calling science a "myth," and introduces a way of thinking to escape the cage of common sense, using concrete examples. Recommended for both philosophy beginners and those interested in epistemology and philosophy of science. Have you recently "re-stretched" any threads of belief? Please share in the comments!

(From “MARC” database) From a Logical Point of View: Nine Logical-Philosophical Essays, Second Revised Edition English version Willard Van Orman Quine (Author) https://amzn.to/4gUUgpn These nine essays are largely concerned with the theory of meaning and references—semantics. At the same time adjacent portions of philosophy and logic are discussed. To the existence of what objects may a given scientific theory be said to be committed? And what considerations may suitably guide us in accepting or revising such ontological commitments? These are among the questions dealt with in this book, particular attention being devoted to the role of abstract entities in mathematics. the notion of identity plays an important part. “Professor Quine's challenging and original views are here for the first time presented as a unity. The chief merit of the book is the Heart-searching from which it arose and to which it will give rise. In vigor, conciseness, and clarity, it is characteristic of its author. — Oxford Magazine “This volume of essays has a unity and bears throughout the imprint of Quine's powerful and original mind. It is written with the felicity in the choice of words which makes everything that Quine writes a pleasure to read, and which ranks him among the best contemporary writers on abstract subjects.” — Cambridge Review (From Amazon book description page) [Related Videos] (This channel) [Deconstructing Common Sense!!] What's Amazing About Wittgenstein's *Philosophical Investigations*!!
