The Basic Problem

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 3 –18

[Generality is arguably an essential feature of our experience of particular objects. Those who find this linguistic distinction between the general and the particular reflective of the ontological facts of the world identify these generalities as universals, and give them the status of...

Goodman’s Nominalism

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 19 –43

[Goodman’s and Quine’s “Steps toward a Constructive Nominalism” make the following bold statement in its first paragraph: “But we cannot use variables that call for abstract objects as values.” Goodman’s nominalism also does not allow him to countenance the null set, mental entities, intensional...

The Consequences of Goodman’s Nominalism for his Terminology

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 45 –55

[The task is now to examine the immediate effects that Goodman’s nominalism has on the kinds of terms available to him in the rest of his philosophy as he was at pains to be consistent in his positions. Goodman’s nominalism denies abstract objects, classes, properties, meaning accounts, and...
LitStream

Twentieth Century Epistemology

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 59 –68

[While Goodman held many points in common with the positivists, he never claimed affiliation with them. Among the points he held in common were the notion ontology must be understood as reducible to atomic units (Wittgenstein’s Tractatus had established the legitimacy of that view); that this...

Constructionalism

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 69 –82

[Goodman does not advocate an empiricist foundationalism and instead offers a constructional adequacy criterion for systems in general and argues that it be placed within the language of first-order predicate calculus with a set of terms defined within the system and an extra-logical set of terms...

The Effects of Goodman’s Nominalist Constructionalism on his Epistemology

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 83 –96

[Goodman’s worldmaking is dependent upon his notion of induction, the issue of which was not solved by Hume, as the problem of distinguishing which regularities could be projected into the future and which regularities would not be projected still remained - hence, Goodman’s “new” riddle. The...

Influences on Goodman’s Philosophy

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 97 –102

[Though Bertrand Russell and W.V.O. Quine were influences on Goodman, other sources of influence that must be discussed are Immanuel Kant, George Berkeley, and William James. Goodman takes Kant’s idea that we “concatenate” the data several steps farther when he argues that all data is not only...

The Effects of Goodman’s Epistemology on his Terminology/Concepts

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 103 –108

[The effects of Goodman’s epistemology on the terms and concepts available to him are seen most clearly in the notions of truth and in the kinds of knowledge that can be claimed within the referential functions of his semantic account. Goodman cannot refer to certain kinds of universal truths,...
LitStream

Goodman’s Expression as Reference

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 111 –123

[As he wanted to avoid in his metaphysics meaning, intensional accounts, and abstract objects, Goodman was likewise intent in his analysis of art to avoid such commitments, and hence, his view that aesthetics is referential functioning within a semantic account that posits only individuals is...

Goodman’s Metaphorical Exemplification

Shottenkirk, Dena

Pages: 125 –135

[Is the painting sad in the same way it is grey? No, Goodman explains that the extension of the class of grey things includes that painting, but the extension of the class of sad things does not, literally, include that painting. Metaphor is analyzed functionally and is not dependent on a realm...
