On Philosophizing—and Some Logical Distinctions

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 3 –14

[Historians of science are more than mere chroniclers. They are not content only to construct a master record of what happened and when—of discoveries, inventions, and scientific personalities, of birthdays and family connections. True, many books on the history of some science read as if the...

Defining Conceptual Boundaries

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 15 –27

[A useful term cannot apply to everything. Some logical or conceptual boundary must appear somewhere. As we saw, the word “not” helps us to locate these boundaries; to know what is being denied is to have perceived half of what is being asserted.]
LitStream

Measuring and Counting: More Boundaries

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 29 –40

[In an ideal science every concept would have a sharp edge—a boundary. I cannot confidently imagine what such an ideal science would be like, or even whether the notion itself is wholly unobjectionable. But undeniably, complete precision in locating the boundaries of its central concepts is a...

There Is More to Seeing Than Meets the Eye

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 43 –54

[In this and subsequent chapters we will consider a cluster of concepts having to do with observation. Notions like seeing, witnessing, noticing, attending, evidence, data, facts … will be inspected, sometimes at close range, sometimes from far off.]
LitStream

Seeing the Same Thing

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 55 –65

[It was clear in the preceding chapter that if one interpreted “seeing the sun” as “having a normal retinal reaction to the sun,” then our thirteenth and twentieth century astronomers do indeed see the same thing. But we noted a good many objections to interpreting seeing in this way. We found...
LitStream

Seeing and Seeing As

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 67 –82

[In the last chapter we encountered four figures—a cube, a rhomboid, a staircase, and a tunnel—all of which displayed the phenomenon of reversible perspective. We also considered two drawings which, besides showing some variability in perspective, were marked by shifts in organization, or in...

Seeing As and Seeing That

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 83 –98

[We have been dealing with the concept of “seeing as.…” It has been argued that in most of the cases where we speak of what we see, as when we see boxes, ducks, rabbits, bears, bicycles, and x-ray tubes, we are speaking of having visual impressions which we see as boxes, ducks, rabbits, etc. This...
LitStream

Seeing, Saying, and Knowing

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 99 –114

[Consider arithmetic. There are at least three possible ways in which one might consider the statement that xn · xn = x2n. We might consider it in terms of the historical context and conditions in which this notation and this particular arithmetic truth became established. This would involve us...

Spectacles Behind the Eyes

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 115 –130

[It has been said of Sir Arthur Eddington, whose philosophy of science included many Kantian a priori considerations, that he had been very nearsighted all his life. At a late age he was fitted for spectacles and for the first time began really to take in the visual data. The implications of this...
LitStream

Can We See Facts?

Lund, Matthew D.

Pages: 131 –142

[We have discussed at length the concepts of seeing and observing. The intellectual and linguistic character of seeing was remarked in such a way that we could at least detect some justice in the assertion that our two astronomers, the thirteenth century man and the twentieth century man, do not...
