565The aim of this paper is to elucidate the relationship between Aristotelian conceptual oppositions, commutative diagrams of relational structures, and Galois connections.This is done by investigating in detail some examples of Aristotelian conceptual oppositions arising from topological spaces and similarity structures. The main technical device for this endeavor is the notion of Galois connections of order structures.

34Carnaps Philosophie als MöglichkeitswissenschaftZeitschrift für Philosophische Forschung 55 (1). 2001.In seiner "Intellektuellen Autobiographie" stellt Carnap die These auf, eine der dringendsten Aufgaben der Philosophie sei es, die verschiedenen möglichen Sprachformen zu untersuchen und ihre charakteristischen Eigenschaften aufzudecken. Diese Charakterisierung kann als ein Schlüssel für das Verständnis seines gesamten Denkens betrachtet werden. Carnap konzipiert Philosophie als Möglichkeitswissenschaft, d.h. als eine allgemeine Theorie, konzeptuelle Möglichkeiten zu formulieren und auszuloten. …Read more

28Critical Idealism Revisited: Recent Work on Cassirer’s Philosophy of ScienceVienna Circle Institute Yearbook 6 295-306. 1999.In the first third of this century Cassirer was one of the leading, most influential philosophers of the German-speaking world. He was the respected opponent of such giants as Husserl, Russell, Schlick, Heidegger or Carnap who left their mark on the philosophical landscape until this very day. One might recall his discussion with Schlick on the philosophical relevance of Einstein’s relativity theory in the first decade of this century. Carnap reported to have received essential ideas for the Log…Read more

39The Debate on Begriffstheorie Between Cassirer, Marc-Wogau — and SchlickVienna Circle Institute Yearbook 14 167-180. 2010.The aim of this paper is to reconstruct a peculiar debate between Ernst Cassirer and the Swedish philosopher Konrad Marc-Wogau on Begriffstheorie that took place in the late thirties of the 20th century. This debate may be conceived as sort of ersatz of the discussion between Cas sirer's Neokantian Begriffstheorie on the one hand, and logical empiricist accounts on the other, in particular Schlick's Begriffstheorie as presented in his Allgemeine Erkenntnislehre. Although Schlick did not particip…Read more

25Neurath’s Opposition To Tarskian SemanticsVienna Circle Institute Yearbook 6 165-178. 1999.The Vienna Circle’s relations to Polish Semantics comprise a rather large spectrum that reaches from Camap’s whole-hearted reception, Gödel’s partial anticipation that Neurath would completely reject semantics. According to Neurath, semantics was of no help for the empiricist program of the Vienna Circle. Quite the contrary, Neurath seems to have regarded Tarski as a sort of evil genius who led astray his closest philosophical friend Carnap, seducing him to leave the path of empiricist virtue an…Read more

6Scientific Theories as Intervening RepresentationsTheoria: Revista de Teoría, Historia y Fundamentos de la Ciencia 21 (1): 21-38. 2006.In this paper some classical representational ideas of Hertz and Duhem are used to show how the dichotomy between representation and intervention can be overcome. More precisely, scientific theories are reconstructed as complex networks of intervening representations (or representational interventions). The formal apparatus developed is applied to elucidate various theoretical and practical aspects of the in vivo/in vitro problem of biochemistry. Moreover, adjoint situations (Galois connections)…Read more
