Intuitive Sense

What does markup mean? We may have some intuitive sense of the intent when markup uses terminology that looks familiar, but does it really say what we think it does? Looking at a specialized case, metadata, the authors examine the formal logical implications behind seemingly familiar metadata records.

First Time

Donald Davidson’s 1970 Locke Lectures appear in print for the first time in this volume, accompanied by an introduction highlighting their significance as a snapshot of his evolving views in the philosophy of language and describing their relationship to the work he published during his lifetime. The lectures comprise an invaluable historical document that illuminates how Davidson was thinking about the theory of meaning, the role of a truth theory therein, the ontological commitments of a truth theory, the notion of logical form, and so on, at a pivotal moment in the development of his thought. Unlike Davidson’s previously published work, they are written so as to be presented to an audience as a fully organized and coherent exposition of his program in the philosophy of language. Had these lectures been widely available in the years following 1970, the reception of Davidson’s work, especially in the philosophy of language, might have been very different. Given the systematic nature of the presentation of Davidson’s semantic program in these lectures, it is hoped that they will be of use to those encountering his thought for the first time.

Universe Of Discourse

Popper's well-known demarcation criterion has often been understood to distinguish statements of empirical science according to their logical form. Implicit in this interpretation of Popper's philosophy is the belief that when the universe of discourse of the empirical scientist is infinite, empirical universal sentences are falsifiable but not verifiable, whereas the converse holds for existential sentences. A remarkable elaboration of this belief is to be found in Watkins's early work (1957, 1958) on the statements he calls “all-and-some,” such as: “For every metal there is a melting point.” All-and-some statements (hereafter AS) are both universally and existentially quantified in that order. Watkins argued that AS should be regarded as both nonfalsifiable and nonverifiable, for they partake in the logical fate of both universal and existential statements. This claim is subject to the proviso that the bound variables are “uncircumscribed” (in Watkins's words); i.e., that the universe of discourse is infinite.

This article concludes a six-part series correlating Immanuel Kant’s architectonic with a special, “compound” arrangement of the Yijing’s 64 hexagrams (gua) that incorporates the logical form of Kant’s table of categories. After summarizing the previous essays, I relate 12 gua to Kant’s views on the theology faculty: (1) rational theology distinguishes four ways of conceiving God, corresponding to gua 30, 62, 56, and 55; (2) Kant’s four basic requirements for a “true church” correlate with gua 13, 31, 33, and 49; and (3) Kant’s distinction between four practical (moral) attributes of God’s nature corresponds to gua 14, 32, 34, and 50.
