Vol. 484.

Editor-in-chief: A. Rieger, S. Leuenberger
This book celebrates and explores some philosophical issues raised by the work of Alan Weir, who is Professor Emeritus at the University of Glasgow, having previously held positions at the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh and Queen’s, Belfast. In a number of areas, Weir has elaborated strikingly original views which involve a radical departure from the mainstream. These include formalism in the philosophy of mathematics, and as well as naïve set theory, with a universal set, and a naïve theory of truth. In contrast to other contemporary defenders of the latter two theories, Weir rejects dialetheism and accepts classical rules for the logical connectives. He avoids contradictions by restricting certain structural inference rules, specifically some generalized versions of transitivity. In addition, Weir has developed radical versions of naturalism and physicalism (partly informed by his work on Quine) and perceptual realism. This collection includes contributions by a distinguished group of philosophers on Weir’s philosophy, as well as a memoir and a new essay on the philosophy of mathematics by Weir himself.

In a series of works, Alan Weir has suggested that the paradoxes are due not so much to the operational principles of classical logic, but to some of its structural principles. Weir’s insightful suggestion has opened up the programme of developing a system that, while validating the principles of naive truth (or of naive vagueness), ...

The article examines the “weak” philosophy of the history of the social critic and philosopher Ivan Illich, which is based on the author’s reinterpretation of Thomas Aquinas’ analogia entis, which occurred under the influence of Illich’s acquaintance and friendship with a prominent representative of neo-Thomism Jacques Maritain. In Ivan Illich’s philosophy, analogia entis turns into ...

This article seeks to redefine the Kim Pusik’s 金富軾 (1075-1151) Samguk sagi 三國史記 (Histories of the Three Kingdoms) as a more imaginative and literary text by foregrounding its “supernatural” elements (collectively referred to as “wonder tales”), rather than emphasizing the ‘Confucian’ orientation that has conventionally been prescribed to it. It reviews the extend of incorporation ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, and “ability to engage with not-knowing” (de Freitas) is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce and B. Russell, scientists have developed tools for working with increasingly accurate ...

Conventional English for Academic Purposes (EAP) curricula, particularly in contexts heavily influenced by standardized testing and a tradition of grammar-translation, often inadequately address the complex cognitive and pragmatic demands of spontaneous academic discussion. This pedagogical gap results in a persistent disconnect between students' receptive knowledge and their productive capabilities, specifically manifesting as an inability to ...

Что есть политический реализм: фиксация фактов или постижение скрытых тенденций? В утопия - несбыточная мечта или призыв, способный преобразить мир? Наконец, есть ли в политике место для морали? Книга отвечает на эти вопросы через призму наследия Макиавелли. Автор показывает его не советником государей, а моралистом, утопистом и "народным трибуном". Диалог с таким Макиавелли позволяет автору ...

The article analyses certain nuances of the interaction between paradoxes and the principles of classical logic, in context of V. A.

The study employs the method of historical-philosophical reconstruction, aimed at revealing the internal logic of the development of Novgorodtsev’s political and legal thought by contextualizing his key concepts within a specific philosophical and politico-legal tradition. This approach allows ...

Макс Шелер (1874–1928) является одной из ключевых фигур в философии XX века. Прожив сравнительно короткую жизнь, он оставил яркий след в европейской философской мысли, в своих сочинениях осуществив глубокую и фундаментальную разработку основных областей философского знания. Всегда чувствуя актуальные тенденции современного мира и живо, со всей страстью своей спонтанности откликаясь на них, Шелер не случайно ...
