20th WCP: Metaphilosophical Pluralism and Paraconsistency: From Orientative To Multi-level Pluralism And this is also the case for metaphilosophy; to put is bluntly, we are better placed today than the Greeks were to understand what philosophy is. Relying on such improved understanding, the further issue as to what contribution it makes to the education of humanity can be addressed. Normative metaphilosophy, by contrast, is concerned with which are the appropriated problems, the justifiable thesis and the correct methods of philosophy. Rescher's objection to syncretism in metaphilosophy stems from his belief that because of its readiness to embrace all different answers to a given question, it is bound to hold contradictory answers. www.bu.edu /wcp/Papers/Meth/MethBena.htm   (4100 words)

Metaphilosophy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Metaphilosophy is concerned with the nature, purpose, and methods of philosophy. One of the branches of metaphilosophy is what I call philosophical apologetics. Its task is to defend philosophy against such cultural competitors as science, religion, mysticism, and socio-political activism. www.independentphilosopher.org /metaphilosophy.htm   (88 words)

Experimental Philosophy Brian Leiter has posted some interesting comments concerning a recent conference entitled "The Challenge of Philosophical Naturalism" that was held at the Rutgers University Institute for Law and Philosophy. Just a reminder that the 2005 meeting of the Society for Philosophy and Psychology is June 9-12 at Wake Forest and the program is complete. No amount of showing that the intuitions of experts differs from those of laypeople is sufficient to show that the experts are wrong or that intuition-based philosophy is over. experimentalphilosophy.typepad.com /experimental_philosophy   (3156 words)

Last check: 2007-10-15) Towa’s metaphilosophy conflicts that of Henry; Henry asserts religion as a major part of philosophy as, he argues, philosophy is marked by discourse. Henry’s metaphilosophy that includes interdisciplinary and intertextual thought is in opposition with Towa who looks for a more balanced metaphilosophy. Hountoundji’s metaphilosophy seems more organized; he believes philosophy is a written discourse and of a certain formulation that is always interpretable and never spontaneous. www.free-college-essays.com /Philosophy/669-Africana_Philosophy_Short_Essays.html   (1052 words)

LWS Abstracts: Gerard Walmsley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) The polymorphism of consciousness as the key to philosophy: Towards a Lonerganian postmodern metaphilosophy This also opens the way to an integral account of polymorphism that would include reference to levels of consciousness and to differentiations of consciousness. Such an integral account of polymorphism provides a basis for a more nuanced metaphilosophy, a meta-philosophy relevant to the postmodern concern for difference and plurality and to cross-cultural philosophy. www.lonergan.on.ca /Abstracts/GWalmsley.htm   (321 words)

The Metaphilosophy of Naturalism Abstract: The metaphilosophy of naturalism is about the nature and goals of naturalist philosophy. A real or hypothetical person who knows the nature, goals and consequences of naturalist philosophy may be called an “informed naturalist.” An informed naturalist is justified in drawing certain conclusions about the current state of naturalism and the research program that naturalist philosophers ought to undertake. This paper is a metaphilosophy of naturalism, not a philosophical argument that naturalism is true. www.philoonline.org /library/smith_4_2.htm   (6652 words)

Philosophy as a Service Industry, or, Reintroducing the Philosophical Life These questions will take us into metaphilosophy, sociology of philosophy, and finally to philosophy of life, which are currently the three most neglected areas of the philosophical enterprise. This restrictive metaphilosophy legitimates itself with an out-of-nowhere appeal to science and academic standards. Suppose we did allow the radical possibility that listening might be a key to a new metaphilosophy and to a new role for the philosopher as a production-force of culture. www.helsinki.fi /~tuschano/writings/service   (8071 words)

Experimental Philosophy: Metaphilosophy One of these metaphilosophies takes the philosopher's task to be, at least in part, the mapping out of the structure of 'our' concepts of philosophical matters like AGENCY or KNOWLEDGE. Because this metaphilosophy appeals to the superiority of the rational apperceptions of the specially enlightened, we can call this the "Platonic metaphilosophy". A common argumentative strategy among philosophers is the technique of introducing thought experiments or intuition pumps in an attempt to establish the intuitive plausibility of the claim or principle that is being put forward. experimentalphilosophy.typepad.com /experimental_philosophy/metaphilosophy/index.html   (6815 words)

Peter Suber, "Metaphilosophy, Topics"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) My secondary purpose is making this list is to help students come up with paper topics, read philosophy with attention to its implicit metaphilosophy, and sort out their own metaphilosophical thoughts. Compare the metaphilosophies of a few philosophers on their self-referential consistency.

Charles Hartshorne on Metaphilosophy, Person and Immortality, and Other Issues The interview which follows is the result of our meeting with Dr. Hartshorne and his lovely wife, Dorothy, which took place over a two-day period (May 20-21, 1989) at their home in Austin. The topics discussed here reflect our respective interests: metaphilosophy (P. Gutowski), and the issue of person and immortality (J. Kennedy). There are, however, many other issues which emerged naturally in the course of our discussion with Dr. Hartshorne, which cannot be easily classified under these two topics. www.religion-online.org /showarticle.asp?title=2803   (11881 words)

Science as Culture - Metaphilosophy The way I approach metaphilosophy would cause him real grief and in more than one dimension. He would be especially upset at my unabashedly psychologistic posture, since, if I should have learned anything from him, it would be that philosophical questions need to be carefully separated from their psychological, social and historical context in order to deal with them on their own abstracted terms. For as the cover–page caricature of a dictionary definition of the term "metaphilosophy" is meant to suggest, I will be a metaphilosopher doggedly and devotedly pursuing Freudian explanations. www.human-nature.com /science-as-culture/thomas.html   (9430 words)

Ephilosopher :: Feedback and Suggestions :: Metaphilosophy Discussion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) The recent acrimony and thread closures concerning the demise of you-know-who got me thinking about hosting a "meta-philosophy" discussion. And this is where we should really try to understand and see the idea behind ‘Just because a proposition makes sense or intelligible, it doesn’t make it true.’ Alongside true propositions are false propositions, and this is where the difficulty lies. And this is when metaphilosophy could really do its work, at least to W, in discovering the mistakes of past philosophers. www.ephilosopher.com /phpBB_14-action-viewtopic-topic-1755-start-0.html   (2637 words)

Ontology and the Linguistic Relativity (Sapir-Whorf) Hypothesis It seems appropriate to mark the difference by "alternative conceptual scheme."
