metaphysics of logical realism

چکیده
despite the often false impression that the analytic philosophy as an anti-metaphysical movement has nothing to do with metaphysics, there can be found good reasons to grant the metaphysical dispositions of analytic philosophers, and thereby, to minimize the anti-metaphysical nature of analytic philosophy in its all phases. since analytic philosophy is a historical movement the main nature of which developed through several stages, the very kinds of metaphysical dispositions within each one of its various stages can be easily portrayed. in the meantime, logical realism as the early stage of analytic philosophy contains plenty of metaphysical dispositions. undoubtedly, one cannot say that analytic philosophy in this period was not committed to metaphysical theses about the plurality of entities, the ultimate nature of reality and the logical structure of the world. in this paper, then, after giving a relatively complete explanation of the logical realism, we claimed that although logical realists rejected the traditional speculative metaphysics of their predecessors, they also replaced it by the metaphysics of logic that pursues the metaphysical aims, this time, by logical means. so, we portrayed this kind of metaphysics as bolzano’s semantic platonism, frege’s and russell’s pluralistic platonism, russell’s pluralistic atomism, and wittgenstein’s logical atomism.

با اینکه اغلب به غلط تصور میشود که فلسفۀ تحلیلی، به عنوان یک جنبش ضد-متافیزیکی، هیچ ارتباطی با متافیزیک ندارد، اما دلایل خوبی وجود دارند که بر اساس آن میتوان تمایلات متافیزیکی فیلسوفان تحلیلی را تصدیق نمود و متعاقباً ماهیت ضد-متافیزیکی فلسفه تحلیلی را در تمام مراحل شکلگیریاش به حداقل رساند. چون فلسفه تحلیلی یک جنبش تاریخی است که ماهیت اصلی آن در چند مرحله شکل یافته است، لذا با پیگیری این مرا...
متن کاملOntic structural realism as a metaphysics of objects
The paper spells out five different accounts of the relationship between objects and relations three of which are versions of ontic structural realism (OSR). We argue that the distinction between objects and properties, including relations, is merely a conceptual one by contrast to an ontological one: properties, including relations, are modes, that is the concrete, particular ways in which obj...
متن کاملHumean metaphysics versus a metaphysics of powers
The paper considers the opposition between Humean metaphysics and the metaphysics of powers, focusing on laws, probabilities and causation. It argues that within Humean metaphysics, everything is a matter of contingency. Consequently, there is no deep metaphysical difference between a deterministic world and a world in which only probabilistic laws hold. This position is contrasted with the fou...
متن کاملMetaphysics of science between metaphysics and science
The paper argues that metaphysics depends upon science when it comes to claims about the constitution of the real world. That thesis is illustrated by considering the examples of global supervenience, the tenseless vs. the tensed theory of time and existence, events vs. substances, and relations vs. intrinsic properties. An argument is sketched out for a metaphysics of a fourdimensional block u...
