Topic: Arthur Prior


  
  Arthur Prior
Arthur Norman Prior (1914 Masterton, New Zealand - 1969 Trondheim, Norway) was one of the foremost logicians of the twentieth century.
Prior was entirely educated in New Zealand, where he was fortunate to have come under the influence of John Findlay.
Prior taught and researched modal logic before Kripke proposed his possible worlds semantics for it, at a time when modality and intensionality commanded little interested in the English speaking world, and had even come under sharp attack by Willard Quine.

 Arthur Prior (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Prior had been brought up on the view -- prevalent even today -- that such an expression is incomplete until a time-reference is supplied, and hence that one cannot speak of the truth-value of the expression as altering with the passage of time.
Prior remarks that it is suggested by ‘common notions on the subject of time’.
Prior's own work was an exemplary fusion of philosophy and logic, and he went to Oxford with the intention of interesting the mathematical logicians in philosophy and the philosophers in mathematical logic.

 The life of A.N. Prior
In general, Prior's younger years are described in a little more detail than the later and better known part of his life (which was, of course, the most important part as regards Prior's contributions to logic and philosophy).
Prior's last years, in Oxford, were characterised by an increasingly abstract interest in and use of formalism; but at the same time, he was developing a generalised interest in the philosophical questions of "Worlds, Times, and Selves" (cf.
In September Prior went to Oslo; he was to give a course at the University of Oslo and lectures at Norwegian Universities during the fall term of 1969.

Prior says of Sidgwick in this connexion in Chapter IV is mainly concerned with his criticism of Kant's doctrine of the various kinds of imperative and with Sidgwick's own doctrine on this topic.
Prior answers that the two are indeed alike from the logical point of view, but the likeness consists in the fact that both sentences sin against the theory of types and are therefore meaningless noises.
Prior accuses Professor Findlay of holding, or writing as if he held, that a moral utterance in the indicative which passed all his tests would be true in the literal sense in which a sentence which expresses a judgment and states a proposition can be true.

 Term logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two of these texts in particular, namely the Prior Analytics and De Interpretatione contain the heart of Aristotle's treatment of judgements and formal inference, and it is principally with this part of Aristotle's work that term logic is about.
Afterwards, in the chapters of the Prior Analytics where Aristotle methodically sets out his theory of the syllogism, they are entirely ignored.
The essential feature of term logic is that, of the four terms in the two premises, one must occur twice.

 Arthur Prior
In 1949 Prior wrote of him `I owe to his teaching, directly or indirectly, almost all that I know of either Logic or Ethics' (1949: xi) and he was later generously to describe Findlay as `the founding father of modern tense-logic' (1967: 1).
What Prior once wrote admiringly of Lukasiewicz is no less true of Prior himself: `having done very distinguished work as a mathematical logician in the modern style, [he] is at the same time interested in the history of his subject...
Prior's interest in economical bases for propositional and pure implicational logics, initially aroused by his study of Peirce, was stimulated by Lukasiewicz's article `The Shortest Axiom of the Implicational Calculus of Propositions' and the opening chapters of Formal Logic draw heavily on Lukasiewicz's work in this area.

 Boxing News : James McDonnell : Gomez and Arthur Put On Another Thriller
Prior to the fight conventional wisdom dictated that Gomez was yesterday’s man, and that the future belonged to Arthur, who is widely regarded as the best super featherweight in the country.
Arthur had already won this fight in the eye’s of many, however, in recent weeks, stories of Gomez’ amazing battle back from the brink of personal despair, gave credence to those who said that Gomez was a changed man.
Somewhere from deep down in his resolve, Arthur found a wicked body shot which he sunk under the ribcage, Gomez bent almost double, and Arthur shouldered him off, and teed off with straight shots up and downstairs, but it was but a momentary change of fortune.

Such is the pedigree of Maddy Prior -- one of England's top traditional singers -- that anything bearing her imprint is assumed to be of high quality.
Arthur also tries to provide in music a feeling of what it was like to have been alive in time of Arthur.
Arthur complains that 'The poet and the troubadour have stolen my name' in the opening song, "The Name of Arthur"; but later, in a more reflective mood, he notes that 'From my name has come a dream, a fable, a myth' ("The Hallows").

Prior has always mixed a bit of rock in with her folk and celtic songs, but rarely as skillfully as this.
The title song cycle tells the story of Arthur, not the familiar figure of Camelot but closer to the true legend, a gritty, brutal and considerably earthier story.
But Prior's powerful voice controls the proceedings, giving it emotional depth that cannot be dismissed.

 Maddy Prior - Discography: Arthur the King
The Arthur of legend that we have become familiar with was a construct of the writers of the 12th century.
The Mabiniogion, a great poem of Welsh origin gives Arthur a more Celtic dimension, and certainly the later 'Grail romances' that became Christian in style, owed much of their source the Celts.
Seeing a green and pleasant, and relatively and undefended land, they turned treacherous and decide to stay and bring their tribes over, who were being squeezed out of mainland Europe by the encroaching tribes from Eastern Europe, themselves being pushed by the horsemen of the Steppes.

 Early History
Between 1895 and 1897, the cities of Port Arthur and Nederland were founded on about 50,000 acres of open, prairie land owned by the Kansas City Southern Railroad Company.
Port Arthur was surveyed and settled in 1895, and by 1900, had a population of 950, of whom 26 "had been born in Germany." Another handful of Port Arthur Lutherans were from the Scandinavian countries, and others recorded in the 1900 census had German-born parentage.
It was, however, Port Arthur's Trinity Lutheran Church which became the "mother church" of Holy Cross Lutheran Church of Nederland, and it is to the history of the former that the history of Holy Cross Lutheran is so closely affiliated.
