  William Heald on Gustav Bergmann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Bergmann's thoroughgoing commitment to the empiricistic methods of the natural sciences coincided exactly with the outlook of the "working" psychologists at The University of Iowa, who believed that the proper method of psychology consisted of observation of behavior and explanation of behavior in terms of stimulus-response mechanisms.
One may even be led, as Bergmann himself was for a considerable portion of his philosophical career, to embrace the view that "everything is mental", in the sense that all that exists are sense data, the properties of and relations between sense data, and other mental states like perceiving, remembering and believing.
Bergmann accused many of the positivists of holding various of these classical metaphysical positions, but of doing so implicitly and therefore inarticulately, largely because they were unwilling to admit that what they were engaged in was metaphysics, a systematic attempt to describe the general structure of reality.

 The Ontological Realism of Gustav Bergmann
Be that as it may, in Bergmann's essays the difference between the two Bergmanns is muted, obscured, by Bergmann's constant and conspicuous use of the ideal language method, his persistent preoccupation with the same problems, and his reluctance to dwell on and dramatize his evolution from frugality to lavishness.

 Bergmann
Gustav Bergmann studied mathematics, law, and philosophy in his native Vienna and participated in the Vienna Circle discussions of logical positivism.

Gustav Bergmann's remarkable intellectual journey, beginning as one of the youngest members of the Vienna Circle, and ending, in Hector Castañeda's judgment, as "the foremost ontologist of the decade," focused on three metaphysical issues that he continuously discussed for thirty years: the problems of individuation, of universals, and of intentionality.
Bergmann's turn to metaphysics began with his 1947 paper "Russell on Particulars," though he had long insisted that his later concerns with the metaphysics of intentionality, expressed in a 1955 paper on intentionality, are already present in two criticisms of Carnap's semantics published in 1944 and 1945.
But a careful reading of the earlier papers, which Carnap (in a letter to Bergmann in the Bergmann archives at the University of Iowa Library) found to be "mostly Chinese," show that Bergmann, in 1944 and 1945, is writing as an extreme early Carnapian positivist.

The book contains the first systematic study of the ontology and metaphysics of Gustav Bergmann, tracing their development from early (1940s) criticisms of Carnap’s semantical theories in Introduction to Semantics, to their culmination in his 1992 New Foundations of Ontology.
Building on the critical studies of Bergmann, Carnap and such other philosophers, the author argues for a form of Logical Realism derived from important, but long misunderstood and ignored, aspects of Russell’s theories of descriptions, reference and truth.

 LRB | Jonathan Rée : Strenuous Unbelief   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Hardliners still paid lip-service to Ideal Language Philosophy (as it was called by Gustav Bergmann, another European refugee), but even Carnap eventually exchanged the Germanic rigidities of positivism and empiricism for an easy-going holistic pragmatism in the American grain.
It was still 'not clear', he said, that a Carnapian analysis of language could ever make an honest science out of the oldest intel lectual profession.
On the other hand, Carnapianism was surely more than just another of philosophy's 'tedious roundabouts', to borrow another phrase from Bergmann: by putting 'the entire philosophical tradition, from Parmenides through Descartes and Hume to Bradley and Whitehead, on the defensive', Rorty said, it had launched one of 'the great ages in the history of philosophy'.

The paper presents the outline of a directly depicting diagrammatic language which will
enable us to represent the most general structures of reality, discussing along the way the work of Aristotle, Peirce, Wittgenstein and Gustav Bergmann.
It draws not on standard logical treatments of the contents of epistemic states as these are customarily conceived in terms of propositions but rather on a no less venerable but nowadays somewhat neglected tradition of formal ontology: not sentences or propositions, but maps, diagrams or pictures, serve as the constituents of our mirror of reality.
