		Although Chisholm's contributions to the theory of knowledge and metaphysics have influenced thinkers as far away as Asia, his greatness as a teacher is less well-known.
		Chisholm chaired the philosophy department from 1951 to 1964 and served as the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities from 1972 to 1987.
		Chisholm is survived by his wife, Eleanor (Parker) Chisholm; two sons and a daughter, Yeddy Kaiser '70; a grandchild; and a great-grandchild.

	Foundationalism
		Chisholm responds that that is the best we can do and that the onus is on the skeptic to demonstrate that the faith is misplaced.
		Chisholm's epistemological method, then, given the three constraints, is to assume that we do know some external world propositions and to work backwards in figuring out how we know them.
		Chisholm is aware of this line of criticism, but he rejects the view that "appears" is parasitical upon "is." "Appears" language is not necessarily used as a hedge, i.e., as a way of indicating one's awareness of the fact that things may not be as they appear to be.

	The Problem of the Criterion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Chisholm is critical of 'methodism', especially in its most empiricist version, because he thinks it (a) begins with a very far-reaching and completely arbitrary generalisation, and (b) rules out of court all those very many things we take ourselves to know which cannot be shown to arise from sense-experience, including facts about physical objects.
		Thus, Chisholm says, our reports as to what we see, hear, feel and remember are to be accepted as instances of knowledge, unless there is some positive reason for thinking that the deliverances of our senses and memory are distorted by such factors as drugs and brainwashing.
		Chisholm's assumption - which he says we have to accept as 'rational beings' - is apparently shared by many philosophers of knowledge, as is evidenced by the large amount of work done in the field of epistemic logic.

	Boundaries: An Essay in Mereotopology
		Of Chisholm's many signal contributions to analytic metaphysics, perhaps the most important is his treatment of boundaries, a category of entity that has been neglected, to say the least, in the history of ontology.
		As Chisholm has insisted, there is in fact an alternative account of the actual reality, as far as color is concerned, at the point on the line where the red and green segments meet, an account which can be smoothly and uniformly extended to the other cases mentioned.
		Chisholm's theory of coincidence is drawn from the work on space, time and the continuum of Franz Brentano and above all from Brentano's idea that what is above all characteristic of a continuum is 'the possibility of a coincidence of boundaries'.

	Michael Gunzenhauser - Epistemological Reversals Between Chisholm and Lyotard
		Traditional epistemologists such as Chisholm have been haunted by skeptics who challenge the notion that perceptions, for which Chisholm reserves a special place in his epistemological system, can be trusted as a basis for knowledge.
		Dhillon makes her connection with Chisholm's discussion of the language "to see" and Lyotard's discussion of the language "to witness." For Chisholm, perception is the very foundation of knowledge.
		Chisholm would never go this far, because, for him, language is a tool with which he hopes to locate a more accurate depiction of knowledge.

	States of Affairs
		Chisholm's characterization of states of affairs appeals to a number of criteria for what it is to be abstract — necessary existence, no dependence on concrete things.
		Roderick Chisholm, in elaborating his later theory of events (Chisholm 1990), agrees with Bennett that we should not view time of occurrence as a constitutive element packed into events.
		For Chisholm, an event is a contingent basic state of affairs of the form x-having-F, where x is an entity that exists contingently and F is a property that x might not have had.

	Enriching the Ontological Foundations of Modelling in Information Systems
		Chisholm’s ontology is a commonsense realism that allows for human perceptions of reality and abstracts to a level more natural for people, and may be useful in explaining some information systems phenomena from the application domain.
		Chisholm’s ontology views the world as a collection of individuals and relations between them, and the ontology uses attributes to describe both individuals and relations.
		The major departures from Chisholm are in the more subtle nature of relations and attributes and the implications of a tighter coupling between individuals and attributes in the data models; particularly as these pertain to sets and relations which are primitive in the data models.

		This reference to him, the person Roderick Chisholm, is, as he might say, "strict and philosophical," for in a "loose and popular" sense he can no doubt be said to have physical parts since he can be said to "have" a body.
		Although Chisholm's argument does not, all things considered, really support the conclusion he wished to draw, a Cartesian might still be encouraged by the idea that the simplicity of the soul is at least a "logical" possibility.
		Unlike Chisholm, Anscombe has no suspicion that she is a monad (she is wholly confident that she is a living human animal), but she is capable, she said, of being temporarily lulled into thinking of herself as a "Cartesian Ego" when she reflects on a standard assumption about the use of the first-person singular pronoun.

		However, as Chisholm rightly points out, it is not appropriate for the four dimensionalist to voice this objection in response to his criticism of premise one, else they would be guilty of circular reasoning: the four dimensionalist would be presupposing the doctrine of temporal parts in their argument for that very doctrine (ibid).
		In response to Chisholm’s first criticism, then, I propose that the spatial analogy is not a deductive argument held by the four dimensionalist, especially in the format that Chisholm presents.
		Chisholm says that temporal parts theorists think they can accommodate the seemingly contradictory conclusion by appealing to the notion of temporal parts.

	THE ALLEGED FALLACY OF THE SENSE-DATUM INFERENCE
		Chisholm claims here that what he calls "the sense-datum inference" is a fallacy.
		That Chisholm did not come to this same conclusion is difficult to understand because in Perceiving, in which he offers some of these counterexamples to the sense-datum inference, he also presents the first systematic attempt in the literature to disambiguate the different uses of 'appear' words.
		In his polemics against Chisholm, Firth, and Cornman, Sellars claims that the phenomenal use of appear words is either synonymous to 'ostensible perception', or that such a use of appear words does not exist, or that it is a contrived use to describe non-conceptual states.

	Hauptli's Lecture Supplement on Chisholm's The Problem of the Criterion
		Chisholm notes that Cardinal Mercier [1851-1926] held that any adequate criterion must be internal, objective, and immediate, and he agrees with these desiderata.
		Chisholm contends that justificatory regress comes to a halt when we reach that which is directly evident.
		Chisholm does not believe that we are presented with an arbitrary choice amongst these orientations however: according to him his view has the decided virtue of according with what we all do, in fact, know--it accords with common sense.

		Although Roderick Chisholm is best known for his contributions to epistemology, he was also a formidable metaphysician.
		Chisholm=s most distinguishing characteristic as a philosopher was his readiness to revise theories in the face of objections and counterexamples, and the agility with which he could do so even in a public forum.
		Chisholm was Professor of Philosophy at Brown University for 40 years, where he influenced many other well-known philosophers: Ernest Sosa, Richard Taylor, James van Cleve, and Peter van Inwagen, among others.

		Yet it is written in the terse, lucid, unpretentious style that has become a hallmark of Chisholm's work.

		Roderick Chisholm presents here a critical exposition of this theory and its place in Brentano's general philosophical system.
		He gives a detailed account of Brentano's ontology, showing how Brentano tried to secure objectivity for ethics not through a theory of practical reason, but through his theory of the intentional objects of emotions and desires.
		Professor Chisholm goes on to develop certain suggestions about intrinsic value made by Brentano and his students, and discusses their relevance to theodicy and the problem of evil.
