A pair of works this philosopher edited, one with Herbert Feigl and another with John Hospers, brought American pragmatism and logical positivism together with elements of analytic philosophy.
A pair of works this philosopher edited, one with Herbert Feigl and another with John Hospers, brought American pragmatism and logical positivism together with elements of analytic philosophy. This philosopher contrasted the "manifest" and the "scientific" image, but he is better known for a critique of a phenomenon whose manifestations include the idea that one's access to one's own mental states is privileged, the idea that empirical knowledge has any kind of foundation, and the classical sense-datum theory. This philosopher, whose early essays are collected in Pure Pragmatics and Possible Worlds, explicated his support for a flavor of transcendental idealism in Science and Metaphysics: Variations on Kantian Themes. For 10 points, name this originator of "psychological nominalism" who attacked the "myth of the given" and wrote Philosophy and the Scientific Image of Man and Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind.
