Ennead I. 4. 3: Plotinus is arguing that happiness is fullness and completeness of life, and continues, according to the MSS. , οϋτω γρ ν οùδέ έπακτòν τò γαθòν ύπάρΧοι, ούδ' λλο τò ύποκείμενον άλλαΧόθεν γενόμενον παρέξει αύτò ν άγαθεναι. Mr. MacKenna translates the last phrase by ‘a life needing no foreign substance called in from a foreign realm to establish it in good ’; Ficinus by ‘neque aliud quicquam aliunde adueniens efficiet ut subiectum collocetur in bono.’ Ficinus is undoubtedly (...) right. τò ύποκειμέν means ‘the subject,’ which a few lines above has been identified with the λογικ ζωή. The passage should be corrected by writing τ, ύποκειμέν, dependent on γενόμενον, for τò úποκείμενον. (shrink)

The contributions to this special collection concern issues and problems discussed in or related to the work of Wesley C. Salmon. Salmon has long been noted for his important work in the philosophy of science, which has included research on the interpretation of probability, the nature of explanation, the character of reasoning, the justification of induction, the structure of space/time and the paradoxes of Zeno, to mention only some of the most prominent. During a time of increasing preoccupation with historical (...) and sociological approaches to under standing science (which characterize scientific developments as though they could be adequately analysed from the perspective of political movements, even mistaking the phenomena of conversion for the rational appraisal of scientific theories), Salmon has remained stead fastly devoted to isolating and justifying those normative standards distinguishing science from non-science - especially through the vindi cation of general principles of scientific procedure and the validation of specific examples of scientific theories - without which science itself cannot be (even remotely) adequately understood. In this respect, Salmon exemplifies and strengthens a splendid tradi tion whose most remarkable representatives include Hans Reichenbach, Rudolf Carnap and Carl G. Hempel, all of whom exerted a profound influence upon his own development. (shrink)

RésuméDans cet article, l'auteur discute les principes qui ont guidé M. Gonseth dans ses recherches sur la géométrie et le problème de l'espace. M. Gonseth défend la thèse selon laquelle avant de tenter de résoudre le problème de la géométrie, on doit disposer des facultés d'intuition, de déduction et d'une connaissance expérimentale de l'espace.M. Tummers a publié trois brochures sur la géométrie: 1. De Opbouw der Meetkunde ; 2. De Meetkunde en de Ervaring ; 3. Wijsgerige Verantwoording van het Paralelenpostulaat (...) . Il défend la thèse selon laquelle une science dont toute expérience serait bannie ne pourrait pas exister. Dans la troisième de ces brochures, il montre que la proposition des parallèles n'est pas une thèse qui peut ětre déduite, mais un véritable postulat. L'auteur suppose dans sa recherche — exactement comme M. Gonseth — l'expérience ainsi que les facultés d'intuition et de déduction.L'auteur conclut que M. Gonseth, lorsqu'il montre que l'expérience et les facultés d'intuition et de déduction sont indispensables pour la construction de la géométrie, a prouvé une thèse d'une importance fondamentale. L'auteur essaye de construire une géométrie abstraite, mais dirigée par l'expérience, alors que Hilbert introduit une géométrie entièrement abstraite, excluant l'expérience comme instrument de contrǒle.In this article the author discusses the principles leading Mr. Gonseth in his search of geometry and the problem of the space. The following books of Mr. Gonseth are consulted:I. La déduction préalable. II. Les trois aspects de la Géométrie. III. L'Edification axiomatique.Mr. Gonseth argues that—before attempting to solve the problem of geometry—we must avail ourselves of the faculties of intuition and deduction, and of an experimental knowledge of the space.The author Mr. Tummers has published three brochures on geometry:1° De Opbouw der Meetkunde 1941. 2° De Meetkunde en de Ervaring 1949. 3° Wijsgerige Verantwoording van het Paralelenpostulaat 1951.The author defends the thesis that a science from which experience is excluded cannot exist.In the third brochure the author demonstrates that the proposition of the parallels is not a thesis which can be deduced, but a true postulate. The author, exactly as Mr. Gonseth, supposes in his research the experience and the faculties of intuition and deduction.The author concludes that Mr. Gonseth, when defending that experience and the faculties of intuition and deduction are indispensable for the construction of geometry, proves a thesis of great and fundamental importance.The author tries to build up an abstract geometry but directed by experience, Hilbert introduces a geometry, entirely abstract, whereas excluding the experience as instrument of supervision.
