Most easily tolerated by Alice are the very things that would unhinge most of us in no time flat, the nonsensical conditions of these strange worlds with their surprising natural laws that decree, for instance, that edibles and drinkables are apt to instigate sudden and drastic changes in shape. What makes these bizarre conditions tolerable—even curiously stimulating—is that they can be mastered with a little trial and error. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 62 | Position 1067-1070 | Hinzugefügt am Freitag, 27.

Juli 2012 um 09:55:44 Uhr However,the most important shuffle in Locke's treatment of knowledge is not between brain and voVs but,as I have said,between knowledge as something which,being the simple having of an idea,can take place without j udgment,and knowledge as that which results from forming j ustified j udgments.This is the shuffle which Kant detected as the basic error of empiricism-the error most vigorously ex­ pressed in his criticism of the confusion of "a succession of apprehensions with an apprehension of succession,"but which bears equally upon the confusion between merely having two "juxtaposed"ideas-froghood and greenness­ and "synthesizing"these into the j udgment "Frogs are usual­ l y green."Just as Aristotle has no clear way to relate grasping universals to making j udgments,no way to relate the recep­ tivity of forms into the mind to the construction of proposi­ tions,neither has Locke.This i s the principal defect of any attempt to reduce "knowledge that"to "knowledge of,"to model knowing on seeing ========== Richard Rorty, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 164-164 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28.

Juli 2012 um 15:09:22 Uhr divides knowledge into two categories: that pertaining to relations of ideas and that pertaining to matters of fact.3 Hume thinks that knowledge of the former category is possible, but it pertains only to truths we can figure by reflecting on the nature of our own ideas. For example, Hume thinks we can know that all triangles have three sides and that all bachelors are unmarried, but this knowledge doesn’t depend on the existence of any triangles or bachelors. Even if every male in the world were married, for example, it would remain true that if there were a bachelor, he would be unmarried. This is guaranteed by our idea of bachelorhood. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 97 | Position 1622-1624 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28.

Juli 2012 um 15:15:22 Uhr The problem for Alice, however, is to explain to a skeptic (like Tweedledee) why she is justified in believing that it is her dream. Alice’s problem is a special case of what the philosopher W. V. Quine (1908-2000) calls the problem of underdetermination of theory by evidence.6 Here a person’s theory is simply the collection of all of her beliefs about the world. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 99 | Position 1645-1648 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28. Juli 2012 um 15:17:29 Uhr Someone’s evidence, in Quine’s sense, consists of everything that she can sense. Alice’s evidence, for example, includes her memory of seeing the Red King sleeping and her memory of apparently “waking up.” The problem, says Quine, is that no matter how much evidence we gather, there will always be multiple incompatible theories that can explain all of it. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 100 | Position 1660-1661 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28.

Juli 2012 um 15:23:03 Uhr Like Hume, Quine does not intend for his problem to induce skepticism about the value and legitimacy of scientific inquiry or our ordinary ways of doing things. Instead, he is merely pointing out that successful inductive reasoning requires more than (1) deductive reasoning or (2) making successful predictions. Quine goes on to suggest three criteria by which we decide which theories we adopt.9 First, we need to make sure our theory doesn ’t contain false claims about our sensory experiences. Thus, Alice shouldn’t adopt the theory that she’s never had a Wonderland experience. Second, we should adopt theories that are as simple as possible. It’s simpler, all things considered, to believe that there was only one Duchess instead of two. Finally, when we add new beliefs to our theory, we ought to change as few of our old beliefs as possible. If Alice were to believe that she were a character in the Red King’s dream, for instance, she would have to change nearly every other belief she had (all of which presumed that she was real). The belief that the land beyond the looking glass was her own dream, in comparison, fits quite well with the rest of Alice’s beliefs. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 101 | Position 1679-1681 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28.

Juli 2012 um 15:36:18 Uhr At the end of her adventures, Alice wakes up and returns to a world more similar to our own. It would be a mistake, however, to suppose that Alice need leave behind all she has learned about Wonderland, or that her experiences have nothing to teach us. Wonderland presents us with a weird sort of parallel Earth where our expectations fail us and we must figure out everything anew. In doing so, we come to see the importance of inductive reasoning for surviving our daily lives, for uncovering the nature of the world around us, and for understanding one another. These are projects that we, like Alice, cannot help but care about. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 109 | Position 1810-1812 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28.

One wouldn’t understand what’s being expressed in Alice’s use of “curiouser” or the Mock Turtle’s use of “uglification” without a prior understanding of terms such as “curious” and “beautify,” and so arguably a grasp of the rules standardly governing their use. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 114 | Position 1886-1887 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28.

Juli 2012 um 19:43:36 Uhr But one can view language use as involving rules while insisting that interlocutors need in addition a degree of worldly wisdom, imagination, and sensitivity—an ability to tailor and even disregard rules as occasions demand. Moreover, by presenting conversations as if they arose out of nowhere, without the baggage of history and social circumstance, it appears that Davidson’s invention view suffers from its own solipsism. ========== Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series) (Irwin, William;Davis, Richard Brian) - Ihre Markierung auf Seite 119 | Position 1980-1981 | Hinzugefügt am Samstag, 28. Juli 2012 um 19:44:39 Uhr So, Davidson gives us no reason to deny altogether the existence or importance of linguistic rules. Rules are not everything. But they ’re not nothing either.
