  • Attitudes of Knowledge and Common Sense
    European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy, 2018
    Co-Authors: Gautier Claude
    Abstract:

    Throughout his intellectual career, John Dewey was asking the question of relationships between knowledge of common sense and scientific knowledge. We propose to examine these relations in the light of a comparison with Thomas Reid, one of the founding authors of the Modern Philosophy of common sense. This comparison tries to set up what should be considered as a closer formulation of what knowledge consists in: a matter of attitudes, a set of dispositions. Such a convergent formulation equally means not to bring into conflict or contradiction – in the style of a “dualism” – what are common sense and scientific knowledge. In so doing, it is thus necessary to reshape an operative distinction between those two kinds of “attitudes”; and this distinction is not ontological but decisively methodological, epistemological and, on a practical level, political

  • the christianization of Modern Philosophy according to maurice blondel
    Theological Studies, 1993
    Co-Authors: James Le Grys
    Abstract:

    L'A. analyse quelques uns des premiers essais de Maurice Blondel afin de degager sa comprehension du progres des relations entre la foi chretienne et la philosophie, evolution que Blondel tenait pour une nouvelle etape qualitative avec l'apparation de sa propre philosophie de l'action. Avec elle, la philosophie a reconnu la necessite de l'action en renoncant a l'auto-suffisance de la speculation et la necessite d'une veritable religion surnaturelle en abandonnant l'idee de l'auto-suffisance des pouvoirs naturels de l'homme

  • anne conway the principles of the most ancient and Modern Philosophy
    1996
    Co-Authors: Anne Conway, Allison P Coudert, Taylor Corse
    Abstract:

    Anne Conway was an extraordinary figure in a remarkable age. Her mastery of the intricate doctrines of the Lurianic Kabbalah, her authorship of a treatise criticising the Philosophy of Descartes, Hobbes, and Spinoza, and her scandalous conversion to the despised sect of Quakers indicate a strength of character and independence of mind wholly unexpected (and unwanted) in a woman at the time. Translated for the first time into Modern English, her Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy is the most interesting and original philosophical work written by a woman in the seventeenth century. Her radical and unorthodox ideas are important not only because they anticipated the more tolerant, ecumenical, and optimistic Philosophy of the Enlightenment, but also because of their influence on Leibniz. This fully annotated edition includes an introduction which places Conway in her historical and philosophical contexts, together with a chronology of her life and a bibliography.
