Leibniz et les puissances du langage by Dominique Berlioz,Frédéric Nef Pdf

Il a été longtemps difficile d'évaluer l'originalité et la nouveauté des inventions et découvertes leibniziennes touchant aux langages naturels et formels, car l'ampleur des enquêtes empiriques, la sophistication des analyses logiques sont un défi à l'historien et au philosophe. Une rencontre internationale soutenue par l'European Science Foundation, à l'Université de Rennes 1 en mars 2002, a fait systématiquement le point sur ce secteur négligé des études leibniziennes, en portant attention aussi bien à l'analyse logique du langage naturel (réduplication, propriétés individuelles) qu'à l'étude de son expressivité (métaphore, langage mystique), avec l'objectif de fournir au lecteur un outil fiable. Le langage n'est pas un domaine subalterne d'application des thèses majeures du système, mais un de ses foyers, où s'inventent les concepts les plus puissants, à l'épreuve de la contingence historique et naturelle. La modernité de Leibniz est d'avoir mis à l'épreuve la connexion intime de la logique et de la métaphysique au coeur de ce que l'humaine nature a de plus précieux et de plus fragile : l'expression des idées et des affects grâce à des traces plus ou moins évanescentes, toujours transitoires et donc frappées d'opacité. Le projet de la langue universelle a peut-être été un échec, mais de cet échec sont nées la grammaire comparée, la sémantique des langues naturelles, la logique modale, l'étude de la fonction symbolique, bref des pans entiers de la modernité langagière et linguistique.

Leibniz et le langage by Frédéric Nef Pdf

Il y a un double enjeu de la réflexion leibnizienne sur le langage : le philosophe peut-il décrire les langues naturelles d'une manière qui lui soit propre ? Peut-on construire un langage artificiel pour la pensée pure ? Les débats actuels sont marqués par les projets de naturalisation de la signification et le succès vertigineux des pensées mécaniques. Ils ne peuvent que rendre attentifs aux liens découverts ou établis par Leibniz entre les deux pôles du langage, le naturel et l'artificiel. Cet essai se propose d'explorer systématiquement ces liens. Il est, en français, le premier sur le sujet. Il s'adresse tant aux linguistes, poètes, informaticiens et logiciens qu'aux philosophes. Sa thèse centrale est que le projet global d'évaluation des liens entre pensée et langage chez Leibniz procède d'un nominalisme original et cohérent.

Leibniz: What Kind of Rationalist? by Marcelo Dascal Pdf

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was an outstanding contributor to many fields of human knowledge. The historiography of philosophy has tagged him as a “rationalist”. But what does this exactly mean? Is he a “rationalist” in the same sense in Mathematics and Politics, in Physics and Jurisprudence, in Metaphysics and Theology, in Logic and Linguistics, in Technology and Medicine, in Epistemology and Ethics? What are the most significant features of his “rationalism”, whatever it is? For the first time an outstanding group of Leibniz researchers, some acknowledged as leading scholars, others in the beginning of a promising career, who specialize in the most significant areas of Leibniz’s contributions to human thought and action, were requested to spell out the nature of his rationalism in each of these areas, with a view to provide a comprehensive picture of what it amounts to, both in its general drive and in its specific features and eventual inner tensions. The chapters of the book are the result of intense discussion in the course of an international conference focused on the title question of this book, and were selected in view of their contribution to this topic. They are clustered in thematically organized parts. No effort has been made to hide the controversies underlying the different interpretations of Leibniz’s “rationalism” – in each particular domain and as a whole. On the contrary, the editor firmly believes that only through a variety of conflicting interpretive perspectives can the multi-faceted nature of an oeuvre of such a magnitude and variety as Leibniz’s be brought to light and understood as it deserves.

The Oxford Handbook of Leibniz by Maria Rosa Antognazza Pdf

The extraordinary breadth and depth of Leibniz's intellectual vision commands ever increasing attention. As more texts gradually emerge from seemingly bottomless archives, new facets of his contribution to an astonishing variety of fields come to light. This volume provides a uniquely comprehensive, systematic, and up-to-date appraisal of Leibniz's thought thematically organized around its diverse but interrelated aspects. Discussion of his philosophical system naturally takes place of pride. A cluster of original essays revisit his logic, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of nature, moral and political philosophy, and philosophy of religion. The scope of the volume, however, goes beyond that of a philosophical collection to embrace all the main features of Leibniz's thought and activity. Contributions are offered on Leibniz as a mathematician (including not only his calculus but also determinant theory, symmetric functions, the dyadic, the analysis situs, probability and statistics); on Leibniz as a scientist (physics and also optics, cosmology, geology, physiology, medicine, and chemistry); on his technical innovations (the calculating machine and the technology of mining, as well as other discoveries); on his work as an 'intelligencer' and cultural networker, as jurist, historian, editor of sources and librarian; on his views on Europe's political future, religious toleration, and ecclesiastical reunification; on his proposals for political, administrative, economic, and social reform. In so doing, the volume serves as a unique cross-disciplinary point of contact for the many domains to which Leibniz contributed. By assembling leading specialists on all these topics, it offers the most rounded picture of Leibniz's endeavors currently available.

Past and Present Interactions in Legal Reasoning and Logic by Matthias Armgardt,Patrice Canivez,Sandrine Chassagnard-Pinet Pdf

This volume explores the relation between legal reasoning and logic from both a historical and a systematic perspective. The topics addressed include, among others, conditional legal acts, disjunctions in legal acts, presumptions and conjectures, conflicts of values, Jørgensen ́s Dilemma, the Rhetor ́s Dilemma, the theory of legal fictions and the categorization of contracts. The unifying problematic of these contributions concerns the conditional structures and, more particularly, the relationship between legal theory and legal reasoning in the context of conditions. The contributions in this work constitute the first results of the ANR-DFG joint research project “JuriLog” (Jurisprudence and Logic), which aims at fostering the cooperation between legal scholars and philosophers. On the one hand, lawyers and legal scholars have an interest in emphasizing the logical character of legal reasoning. In this respect, the present enquiry examines the question of how logic, especially newer forms of dialogical logic, can be made fruitful as a significant area of philosophy for jurisprudence and legal practice. On the other hand, logicians find in legal reasoning a striving towards clear definitions and inference-procedures that is relevant to their discipline. In order to fully understand such reciprocal relationships, it is necessary to bridge the gap between law, logic and philosophy in contemporary academic research. The essays collected in this volume all work towards this common goal. The book is divided in three sections. In the first part, the strong relation between Roman Law and logic is explored with respect to the analysis of disjunctive statements in legal acts. The second part focuses on Leibniz ́s legal theory. The third part, finally, is dedicated to current interactions between law and logic.

Around and Beyond the Square of Opposition by Jean-Yves Béziau,Dale Jacquette Pdf

The theory of oppositions based on Aristotelian foundations of logic has been pictured in a striking square diagram which can be understood and applied in many different ways having repercussions in various fields: epistemology, linguistics, mathematics, sociology, physics. The square can also be generalized in other two-dimensional or multi-dimensional objects extending in breadth and depth the original Aristotelian theory. The square of opposition from its origin in antiquity to the present day continues to exert a profound impact on the development of deductive logic. Since 10 years there is a new growing interest for the square due to recent discoveries and challenging interpretations. This book presents a collection of previously unpublished papers by high level specialists on the square from all over the world.

Oxford Studies in Early Modern Philosophy, Volume X by Donald Rutherford Pdf

Oxford Studies in Early Modern Philosophy is an annual series, presenting a selection of the best current work in the history of early modern philosophy. It focuses on the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - the extraordinary period of intellectual flourishing that begins, very roughly, with Descartes and his contemporaries and ends with Kant. It also publishes papers on thinkers or movements outside of that framework, provided they are important in illuminating early modern thought. The articles in OSEMP will be of importance to specialists within the discipline, but the editors also intend that they should appeal to a larger audience of philosophers, intellectual historians, and others who are interested in the development of modern thought.

Arguing on the Toulmin Model by David Hitchcock,Bart Verheij Pdf

In The Uses of Argument (1958), Stephen Toulmin proposed a model for the layout of arguments: claim, data, warrant, qualifier, rebuttal, backing. Since then, Toulmin’s model has been appropriated, adapted and extended by researchers in speech communications, philosophy and artificial intelligence. This book assembles the best contemporary reflection in these fields, extending or challenging Toulmin’s ideas in ways that make fresh contributions to the theory of analysing and evaluating arguments.

Paradoxes of Religious Toleration in Early Modern Political Thought by John Christian Laursen,Maria Jose Villaverde Pdf

In today’s developed world, much of what people believe about religious toleration has evolved from crucial innovations in toleration theory developed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Thinkers from that period have been rightly celebrated for creating influential, liberating concepts and ideas that have enabled many of us to live in peace. However, their work was certainly not perfect. In this enlightening volume, John Christian Laursen and María José Villaverde have gathered contributors to focus on the paradoxes, blindspots, unexpected flaws, or ambiguities in early modern toleration theories and practices. Each chapter explores the complexities, complications, and inconsistencies that came up in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as people grappled with the idea of toleration. In understanding the weaknesses, contradictions, and ambivalences in other theories, they hope to provoke thought about the defects in ways of thinking about toleration in order to help in overcoming similar problems in contemporary toleration theories.

Substance and Intelligibility in Leibniz's Metaphysics by Jan Palkoska Pdf

The study offers a new account of one of the central topics of Leibniz's philosophy: substance. It brings to light the metaphysical foundations of Leibniz's notion of substance and shows - in opposition to many leading commentators - that his treatment of it is governed by clear standards of significance rooted in his broader metaphysical position. Starting from Leibniz's general theory of definition - founded on his views concerning the science of metaphysics - the author identifies the set of basic defining features of substance for Leibniz and then provides a detailed analysis and interpretation of these features. A foundational role is given to a group of texts from the 1680's in which Leibniz provides conceptual analyses of the most general items of reality.
