History of Western Philosophy #5

Φιλοσοφία της επιστήμης: Οι εμπειριστές

Ποιά είναι η πηγή της ανθρώπινης γνώσης και των ιδεών; Υπάρχουν διάφορα είδη γνώσης, που αποκτώνται με διαφορετικούς τρόπους; Ποια είναι η φύση της επιστήμης;

Σε αυτό το βιβλίο το R.S. Woolhoouse εξετάζει τις απόψεις και τα επιχειρήματα αρκετών εκπροσώπων της φιλοσοφίας των νεότερων χρόνων -Bacon, Gassendi, Hobbeς, Locke, Berkley και Hume- που τείνουν να υπογραμμίσουν το ρόλο και τη σημασία που έχουν η εμπειρία και η παρατήρηση στις απαντήσεις που δίνονται σ' αυτά τα ερωτήματα. Εστιάζοντας τη συμβολή τους στη "νέα φιλοσοφία" της εποχής τους, με κυρίαρχο το ενδιαφέρον για τη φύση της γνώσης και της επιστήμης, ο συγγραφέας αφιερώνει και ένα κεφάλαιο στη Βασιλική Εταιρεία του Λονδίνου για τη Βελτίωση της Φυσικής Γνώσης, που ιδρύθηκε στη δεκαετία του 1660. Προβάλλεται, επίσης, η ηθική και πολιτική φιλοσοφία αυτών των φιλοσόφων.

Ο Woolhouse δε θέτει μόνο τις ιδέες στο σύγχρονό τους πολιτιστικό πλαίσιο, αλλά αποδίδει επίσης προσοχή στη σημασία τους για τη σκέψη του 20ού αιώνα.

Read for summer reading for Early Modern Philosophy next term. Reasonably interesting. It’s an overview of 5 philosophers - I found the chapters on the philosophers I was already familiar with more interesting and easier to follow but that says more about me than the book itself. There was a nice balance of context and information and smooth cohesion between the chapters.

Odağında 17. ve 18. yy ampirist filozoflarını (Bacon, Hobbes, Gassendi, Locke, Berkeley ve Hume) barındıran ve onların düşüncelerini içeren bir derleme. Dönemin düşünürlerini, düşünceleri ekseninde ele alması itibariyle merak uyandıran bir okumaydı, özellikle Locke ve Hume özelinde ilgim arttı diyebilirim.

Akılcılık ile okunmasını tavsiye ederim. Ben önce Ampirist Filozoflar'ı almıştım. Bu diğer kitap da Descartes, Spinoza ve Leibniz etrafında dönüyor diye tahmin ediyorum. Beraber okunursa tamamlayıcı olur.

Dilinin ağır olduğunu belirtmeliyim. Orijinalinde de kitaptaki gibi ağır bir dil olduğunu tahmin ediyorum, ancak Türkçe'ye geçerken daha da ağırlaşmış. İngilizce'de yaygın olan cümle yapıları olduğu gibi Türkçe'ye çevrilmiş gibi duruyor. İçerik hali hazırda yoğunken bu durum, kitabı okunması zor bir çeviriye dönüştürmüş.

Aynı dönemi anlatan alternatifi var ise değerlendirin derim. En azından hem bunu hem alternatifini okumuş olursunuz.

نمره اصلی: 2.5
نمی‌دونم که مشکل از ترجمه است یا متن اصلی اما متن به درازا کشیده می‌شه و قصد و منظور اصلی گنگ بیان می‌شه. یعنی شما در بخش هایی نظرات مختلف و توضیحاتی می‌خونید برای موضوعی که هنوز به درستی متوجه همان نشده‌اید و صورت مسئله را پیدا نکرده اید.
شخصا اگر به درسگفتار ها و کتاب های دیگه دسترسی نداشتم شاید این کتاب برام صرفا یک متن طولانی بی سر و ته می‌بود!
برای آشنایی با تجربه گرایان شاید کتاب های دیگری مثل جلد تجربه گرایان از مجموعه راهنمای سرگشتگان مناسب تر باشد.

This book is about to reach the information in an empiric way, which is a more usual and logical way for me. The Book consists of seven different Philosophers, who defend the source of human knowledge is the empiricism. I am also against Aristo‘s way of thinking. That‘s why I especially feel really into Thomas Hobbes‘s approach.

An excellent overview of one side of perhaps the most fascinating controversy in the history of Western philosophy. Quotes are plentiful and pertinent, the arguments explained in lay people's terms, and the biographical sketches I found to be appropriate in both length and placement. The Introduction places the thinkers discussed (Bacon, Hobbes, Gassendi, Locke, Berkeley and Hume) within the broader contemporary trends. I can think of two shortcomings: the somewhat dry tone and a scarcity of specific references to the modern-day, or at least more recent, philosophers whom these guys influenced. Nonethess I will be sure to check out the other volumes in the series.
