  1. Brentano on Aristotle’s Categories.Venanzio Raspa - 2020 - In Denis Fisette, Guillaume Fréchette & Hynek Janoušek, Franz Brentano’s Philosophy After One Hundred Years: From History of Philosophy to Reism. Springer. pp. 185-203.
    Brentano’s dissertation "Von der mannigfachen Bedeutung des Seienden nach Aristoteles" (On the Several Senses of Being in Aristotle) (1862) is examined in the light of the nineteenth-century debate on the Aristotelian categories. After providing an exposition of the conceptions of the main representatives of this debate, Adolf Trendelenburg and Hermann Bonitz, this paper assesses Brentano’s point of view on the meaning and origin of the Aristotelian categories. It shows (i) that Brentano assumes non-Aristotelian elements in his reading of the Aristotelian (...)

  3. Kant's Combat Against Empirical Idealism.Kutlu Tuncel - 2025 - Dissertation, Middle East Technical University
    This thesis is intended to scrutinize Kant‘s empirical realism along with his rejection of empirical idealism in the Critique of Pure Reason. The central idea of the thesis is that Kant‘s empirical realism is robust or genuine and this is essential to his divorce from Humean skeptical empiricism, Cartesian skeptical idealism, and Berkeleian phenomenalism, all of which are forms of empirical idealism. In this context, I first deal with Kant‘s transcendental idealism and the ―Transcendental Aesthetic‖ via the epistemological two aspect (...)

  7. Nature as a "You": Novalis's Philosophical Extension of Fichte.Luis Fellipe Garcia (ed.) - 2024 - Berlin: De Gruyter.
    The following text looks at certain philosophical points of convergence and divergence between Novalis and Fichte with respect to their theories of nature. Somewhat notoriously, Fichte places nature in opposition to the I (Ich) of the human being, designating the natural world using the abstract formula “Not-I”. Yet Fichte also insists that this abstraction should be made concrete and particular, as both an “it” and as a “you”. This chapter argues that Novalis did not reject Fichte’s theory of nature as (...)

After the linguistic and the affective turns, the new materialist and the performative turns, the cognitive and the posthuman turns, it is now time to re-turn to the ancient, yet also modern and still contemporary realization that humans are mimetic creatures. In this second installment of the Homo Mimeticus series, international scholars working in philosophy, literary theory, classics, cultural studies, sociology, political theory, and the (...)

  10. Schelling's Critique of Hegel: Options and Responses, in the Spirit of Highlighting Shared Insights.James Kreines - 2024 - Society for German Idealism and Romanticism 7:26-40.
    The late Schelling offers an important philosophical critique of Hegel. In this paper, I consider the critique, and options for Hegelian reply. But I do not consider this in the spirit of a zero-sum contest. The point is rather that it is worth exploring both sides of the conflict in ways that, together, support the philosophical importance of this period of philosophy. Here I take as a partner the explanation and defense of Schelling's critique in Dews' _Schelling's Late Philosophy in (...)

  1. Re-Charting Tolman's Cognitive Maps.Tyler Delmore - 2024 - Dialogue 63 (3):447-466.
    Philosophers and psychologists acclaim Edward C. Tolman's “Cognitive Maps in Rats and Men” as an early, transformative instance of representationalist explanation. The article is said to mark a move by Tolman to renounce his behaviorism and to herald a new, cognitivist psychology. I argue, opposingly, that framing the text with reference to later psychology badly distorts its meaning. The text is better understood with respect to the contexts of its age and deeper currents in the history of psychology. Tolman is (...)

    Los gráficos existenciales de Peirce proveen un entendimiento geométrico de una variedad de lógicas (clásica, intuicionista, modal, primer orden). La interpretación geométrica se da en el plano, pero puede ser extendida a otras superficies (esfera, cilindro, toro, etc.) Yendo más allá, se pueden dibujar gráficos existenciales sobre superficies de Riemann arbitrarias, y, con la introducción de herramientas de geometría algebraica (haces, topos de Grothendieck, topos elementales), se pueden capturar las lógicas emergentes vía un nuevo Topos de Gráficos Existenciales sobre Superficies (...)

  2. Topos of existential graphs over Riemann Surfaces.Angie Hugueth - 2025 - Cognitio 26 ( 2316-5278): 1-12.
    Peirce’s Existential Graphs provide a geometrical understanding of a variety of logics (classical, intuitionistic, modal, fi rst-order). The geometrical interpretation is given by topological transformations of closed (Jordan) curves on the plane, but it can be extended to other surfaces (sphere, cylinder, torus, etc.) The result provides the appearance of new logics related to the shapes of the surfaces. Going beyond, one can draw existential graphs over general Riemann Surfaces, and, introducing tools from algebraic geometry (Sheaves, Grothendieck Toposes, Elementary Toposes), (...)

  3. What is a Sign? Peirce on Signs and Propositions.Francesco Bellucci - 2025 - Review of Metaphysics 78 (3):467-490.
    The author argues that “sign” is most often used by Peirce in the sense of “proposition,” or more precisely, that only propositions adequately satisfy Peirce’s definition of the sign. The argument has the form of an exegetical syllogism in Barbara: complete signs are propositions (major premise), Peirce’s definition of the sign is actually a definition of complete signs (minor premise); therefore, the definition of the sign is actually a definition of propositions (conclusion). The author provides textual evidence in support of (...)

  4. Peirce on Abduction and Diagrams in Mathematical Reasoning.Joseph Dauben, Gary Richmond & Jon Alan Schmidt - 2021 - In Marcel Danesi, Handbook of Cognitive Mathematics. Springer Cham.
    Questions regarding the nature and acquisition of mathematical knowledge are perhaps as old as mathematical thinking itself, while fundamental issues of mathematical ontology and epistemology have direct bearing on mathematical cognition. Several original contributions to logic and mathematics made by the American polymath, Charles Sanders Peirce, are of direct relevance to these fundamental issues. This chapter explores scientific reasoning as it relates to abduction, a name that Peirce coined for educated “guessing” of hypotheses, which he took to be “the first (...)

    This article endeavors to interpret Peirce’s idiosyncratic, late article “A Neglected Argument for the Reality of God” in light of his earlier thinking on the problem of the justification of inference, his intellectual inheritance from thinkers including Kant and Spinoza, and his philosophical views at large. Peirce’s earlier writings consistently reject proposals that would justify inference by appeal to a divine mind or its properties, as in certain arguments for the “uniformity of nature.” Since, at first face, the “Neglected Argument” (...)

  6. Peirce and Generative AI.Catherine Legg - forthcoming - In Robert Lane, Pragmatism Revisited. Cambridge University Press.
    Early artificial intelligence research was dominated by intellectualist assumptions, producing explicit representation of facts and rules in “good old-fashioned AI”. After this approach foundered, emphasis shifted to deep learning in neural networks, leading to the creation of Large Language Models which have shown remarkable capacity to automatically generate intelligible texts. This new phase of AI is already producing profound social consequences which invite philosophical reflection. This paper argues that Charles Peirce’s philosophy throws valuable light on genAI’s capabilities first with regard (...)

  7. Peirce e a lógica do mentiroso.Ivan Ferreira da Cunha, Ederson Safra Melo & Jonas Rafael Becker Arenhart - 2025 - Cognitio 26 (1):e61444.
    Este artigo discute dois tratamentos dados por Charles Sanders Peirce ao paradoxo do Mentiroso, estabelecendo conexões com o debate atual acerca do tema. Nas Harvard Lectures de 1865, Peirce considera que a proposição do mentiroso é tanto verdadeira quanto falsa, o que, de acordo com sua visão sobre a lógica, torna a proposição sem sentido. Esse tratamento antecipa parcialmente a posição dialeteísta contemporânea, que considera que o Mentiroso é uma evidência de que algumas proposições são verdadeiras e falsas. Em textos (...)

He developed the Gamma part of Existential Graphs with broken cuts signifying possible falsity, but later identified the need for a Delta part without ever spelling out exactly what he had in mind.

    In this book, John W. Woell shows us how contemporary readings of American Pragmatism founded on mistakenly used categories of the Analytic tradition have led to misreadings of Peirce and James. By focusing on terms drawn largely from Descartes and Kant, contemporary debates between metaphysical realists, antirealists, Realists and Nonrealists, have, argues Woell, failed to shed great light on pragmatism in general and a pragmatic philosophy of religion in particular. Woell contends that paying close attention to the internal relationships among (...)

    Para Peirce, a generalidade tem um caráter distributivo, isto é, o caráter de uma lei que pode ser aplicada a qualquer coisa que possa existir numa classe, sem afirmar se há alguma coisa ou qual é essa coisa, mas fornecendo uma descrição de como os individuais dessa classe devem ser selecionados (EP 2:284, 1903). Rodrigues (2017) afirma que Peirce não considera que a generalidade expressa nos quantificadores universais tenha o caráter coletivo, no sentido de significar um determinado grupo singular, uma (...)

    Peirce é hoje reconhecido como um dos pioneiros da lógica matemática e algébrica, mas seu trabalho original em lógicas não-clássicas ainda recebe escassa atenção fora do círculo estreito de especialistas peircianos. Esse é o caso do cálculo proposicional trivalorado que Peirce registrou em seu “Logic Notebook”, mais de uma década antes do surgimento das lógicas multivaloradas. A lógica triádica, como Peirce a chamava, foi formalizada por Turquette no final dos anos 1960. Turquette apresentou uma interpretação axiomática das tabelas trivaloradas em (...)

    Peirce’s pragmatist theory of truth holds that truth will be the outcome of an indefinitely adequate amount of scientific research. According to the minima trivialia objection, Peirce’s theory of truth is refuted by such common sense truths as that about what I ate for breakfast, which is hardly the outcome of a prolonged collective scientific endeavour. The argument does not work, however, if we endorse Sellars’s distinction between the manifest image and the scientific image of mankind in the world and (...)

    This essay discusses Peirce’s appeal to logical machines as an argument against psychologism. It also contends that some of Peirce’s anti-psychologistic remarks on logic contain interesting premonitions arising from his perception of the asymmetry of proof complexity in monadic and relational logical calculi that were only given full formulation and explication in the early twentieth century through Church’s Theorem and Hilbert’s broad-ranging Entscheidungsproblem.

    In this book, Peirce's logical apparatus is used to explain some topics in biology where traditional scientific methods fail to establish the relation between the real and the virtual in the genetic script, the irreducibility of evolution to the genome, and the multidimensionality of the passage from genotype to phenotype. The interdisciplinary nature of this study consists in combining Peirce's triadic logic, linguistics and biology; the author, as a linguist, draws out similarities between sentence construction and protein folding.

    My paper proposes a tentative framework of bio-existential semiotics based on a reading of Peirce, Darwin, Heidegger, Tarasti, and others. According to this view, there is an evolutionary continuum to life. Human beings are natural organisms and they exhibit many similar bio-existential phenomena. Natural evolution also produces the anthropological, societal and global semiotic processes that constitute cultural evolution as an outgrowth. In the bio-existential perspective, the world is composed of imperfect systems and imperfect consciousnesses where every lifeform must struggle for (...)

    In the digital age, redefining and aesthetically appraising the spiritual substance of non-human entities is crucial, as traditional folklore’s immaterial beings like ghosts are not fully integrated into digital information products. But the enduring popularity of ghost monsters in global media culture, especially mononoke or yōkai in Japan, makes us rethink their immaterial presence alongside advancements in human technology and AI. A notable case is the TV series Mononoke (2006-07), which has spawned adaptations across various media in Japan and recently (...)

  19. The Many Faces of Pragmaticism: Peircean Semiotics as a Bridge Between Science, Philosophy, and Religion.O. Lehto - manuscript
    Reconciling the many “faces” of Peirce – the Scientist, Philosopher, and Metaphysician - helps to make sense of the open-endedness and versatility of semiotics. Semiosis, for Peirce, knows no rigid hermeneutic or disciplinary bounds. It thus forces us to be open to interdisciplinary and holistic inquiries. The pragmatic maxim sets limits on metaphysical speculation, but it also legitimates the extension of the experimentalist method into cosmological, metaphysical, and even religious domains. Although Peirce's religious speculations are ultimately unsatisfactory, understanding why Peirce (...)

    Austrian engineer, philosopher, and political economist Josef Popper-Lynkeus (1838–1921) was a renowned public intellectual of Viennese Late Enlightenment. In this article, we unearth and explore Popper-Lynkeus’s social program. It sought to implement social conscription to unconditionally guarantee a basic level of goods and services for every human individual. We appraise the economic and ethical justifications provided by Popper-Lynkeus for his allegedly “rational” proposals and the intended consequences for the discipline of economics. Finally, and based on our disambiguation of different notions (...)

    Franz Brentano is known today primarily for his contributions to theoretical philosophy, especially the philosophy of mind. But much of his thinking was devoted to moral philosophy, and The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong is his most important text in this area. In what follows, I (1) describe the main tenets of Brentano’s moral philosophy, (2) explain its historical and intellectual significance, and (3) offer a guide to the text, including the innovations in the present edition.

    In this paper, we argue that Derrida’s account of the uncanny experience of being haunted by a specter reveals consciousness to be constitutively haunted. From Derrida’s account in Specters of Marx, we locate the cause to the possibility of haunting from the inability to complete a so-called work of mourning. We note primarily the development of Derrida’s account of specters with respect to the psychoanalytic distinction between mourning and melancholia. We go on to compare Derrida’s characterization of a haunted subject (...)

  3. Nietzschean Decadence as Psychic Disunity.Kaitlyn Creasy - 2024 - Journal of Nietzsche Studies 55 (2):127-146.
    This article offers an account of Nietzschean decadence as a psycho-physiological condition characterized by a failure of psychic integration—a failure Nietzsche thinks precludes genuine agency, since the psychic integration the decadent fails to achieve is necessary for agency. As part of this account, this article develops an interpretation of an underexplored but crucial form of decadence: repressed decadence. Exploring this variety of Nietzschean decadence both enables us to make sense of the case of Wagner’s alleged decadence and adds nuance to (...)

    According to Freud: the business of the analysis is to secure the best possible psychological conditions for the functions of the ego. Functional interpretation rather than veridical reconstruction of past events. Truth in an interpretation is the proximity to the apotheotic resilience of the resilience of the ego undertaking the interpretation in the face of emerging contingencies. If apotheosis implicates the critical functionality of the interpretation, then the apotheosis is the resoluteness that defies future evidence undermining the interpretation. The critical (...)

    The mirror stage brings to consciousness out of the subconscious an item of knowledge p about the structure of the external reality. When the ego surpasses id at the mirror stage, it then knows that there is the other and that the other is of a newly disclosed significance for the center. Knowledge of significance (before the mirror stage) and content (after) of p are sources of causal efficacy and so p is true in both cases. After the stage p (...)

  6. «Sostituire in ciascuno la natura con la Storia»: Sartre, Freud e la critica all’antisemitismo.Giovanni Battista Soda - 2024 - Studi Sartriani 14:85-103.
    This paper aims at providing a side-by-side analysis of Freud’s enquiry into the historical origins and the psychological characterisation of antisemitism and Sartre’s famous 1948 essays on the topic. It is well known that after heavily criticising psychoanalysis in Being and Nothingness Sartre undertakes a process of reassessment of it culminating in Search for a Method and The Family Idiot. The first claim that this paper seeks to advance belongs to the field of Sartrean scholarship and argues that already five (...)

19th Century British Philosophy
  1. Tragedy as both personal and political: review of The First Last Man by Eileen Hunt. [REVIEW]Ben Jones - forthcoming - History of European Ideas.
    The First Last Man is the third installment of Hunt’s trilogy on Shelley’s thought. It deftly weaves together different interpretive and political theory methods. Her careful archival work in particular stands out. She uses Shelley’s journals as an entry into the author’s psyche and motivations for writing The Last Man. While walking the reader through the journals, Hunt convincingly shows the cathartic role that writing The Last Man had for the young Shelley after her husband drowned and her first three (...)

Mary Shepherd
  1. (1 other version)Shepherd’s Metaphysics of Emergence.Ariel Melamedoff - forthcoming - Mind:fzae074.
    The notion of causation that Mary Shepherd develops in her 1824 An Essay Upon the Relation of Cause and Effect (ERCE) has a number of surprising features that have only recently begun to be studied by scholars. This relation is synchronic, rather than diachronic (ERCE pp. 49–50); it always involves a ‘mixture’ of pre-existing objects (ERCE pp. 46–7); and the effect must be ‘a new nature, capable of exhibiting qualities varying from those of either of the objects unconjoined’ (ERCE p. (...)

  2. (1 other version)Shepherd’s Case for the Demonstrability of Causal Principles.Maité Cruz - 2024 - Ergo: An Open Access Journal of Philosophy 10.
    Shepherd’s philosophy centers on her rejection of Hume’s arguments against the demonstrability of causal principles. According to Shepherd, the causal maxim—everything that begins to exist must have a cause—is demonstratively true. She begins her first major philosophical work with a proof of this maxim. While scholars have complained that the proof seems blatantly circular, a closer look at Shepherd’s texts and their Lockean background dispels this worry. Shepherd’s premises are motivated not by the causal maxim or her theory of causation, (...)
