31	Ockham's conception of logic as a rational science : an inferentialist interpretation Vaughan, Nicolás January 2013 (has links) This thesis is a detailed examination of the logico-semantic system propounded by the English philosopher and theologian William of Ockham (c.1287 – c.1347). It provides a reinterpretation of Ockham's account of mental content and mental-language semantics, as well as of his theory of consequential goodness. It does so from the standpoint of an inferentialist theory of meaning, in rejection of previous attempts made from the standpoint of internalist and externalist theories of mental content. Chapter 1 ('The Scientic Status of Logic') provides an account of Ockham's understanding of logic as a rational, practical, ostensive science. Chapter 2 ('The Received Interpretation') presents and casts doubt upon the arguments put forward by the defenders of both externalist and internalist construals of Ockham's semantic theory. Chapter 3 ('An Inferentialist Construal') presents the central tenets of a inferentialist theory of meaning. In order to show how Ockham's system can be understood within such a semantic paradigm, we will have to set out at least three things. First, Chapter 4 ('Ockham's Propositionalism') argues that the mature Ockham actually embraced a propositionalist theory of meaning. Second, Chapter 5 ('Obligationes and the Normativity of Asserting') seeks to prove that such a theory of meaning can only be properly understood against the normative background provided by his theory of obligationes. Finally, Chapter 6 ('Consequences') argues that Ockham's theory of consequential goodness is materialist, not formalist. That is to say, that the goodness of a certain kind of consequence ultimately depends upon the meaning of its propositional parts, rather than upon its structure. It is then shown that all remaining kinds of consequences (syllogisms included) are to understood with respect to these material inferences. The main sources of this research are Ockham's Ordinatio, his Summa logicae, and his Quodlibeta septem. As regards the inferentialist theory of meaning, Robert Brandom's Making it Explicit (1994) and Wilfrid Sellars 'Inference and Meaning' (1953) were essential to this research. 189

34	Der Evangelist ‒ Schlüssel zum Publikum : Die performative Kraft der Erzählinstanz in J. S. Bachs Johannes-Passion / The Evangelist – Key to the Audience : The Performative Power of the Narrative Instance in J. S. Bach’s St. John Passion Gandler-Årman, Kerstin January 2020 (has links) In der vorliegenden Examensarbeit geht es um eine eingehende Analyse der Figur des Evangelisten in der Johannes-Passion von J. S. Bach. Mit Hilfe eines interdisziplinären und intermedialen Ansatzes soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Bedeutung er als Erzählfigur für das Werk allgemein und für den Rezipienten im Besonderen hat. Wie wichtig sein Erzählbewusstsein im Hinblick auf ein zunehmend medialisiertes und säkularisiertes Publikum ist, soll dabei ebenso beleuchtet werden, wie die Kraft seiner Performativität - sein Potential als theatrale Figur. Der Blick auf eine aktuelle Inszenierung, in diesem Fall die gestreamte Fassung der Johannes-Passion von Peter Sellars in Zusammenarbeit mit den Berliner Philharmonikern aus dem Jahr 2019 sowie den Libretto-Text des Evangelisten ermöglicht das Untersuchen von Erzählweise, Kommunikationsstrategie und Spielart dieser spannenden und komplexen ErzählerFigur. Der Fokus auf das epische Moment und die strukturell/dramaturgische Bedeutung des Evangelisten ist dabei bewusst gewählt, da sie mir für die praktische Vermittlung und Darstellung des Evangelisten als relevant erscheinen. / This degree thesis entails a thorough analysis of the Evangelist-character in the St. John Passion from J. S. Bach. With the help of an interdisciplinary and intermedial approach, the question to be investigated is: which meaning does he have as a narrative figure for the work in general and for the recipient in particular? How important his narrative consciousness is in view of an increasingly medialized and secularized audience should also be illuminated, as well as the power of his performativity - his potential as a theatrical character. The look at a current production, in this case the streamed version of the St. John Passion from Peter Sellars in collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonic from 2019 as well as the libretto of the Evangelist, enables the exploration of narrative style, communication strategy and way of acting of this exciting and complex narrator figure. The focus on the epic moment and the structural/dramaturgical meaning of the Evangelist is deliberately chosen, because I deem them relevant to the practical mediation and presentation of the Evangelist.

35	Lidový dualismus a dvě konceptuální říše / Folk Dualism and the Two Conceptual Realms Jirout Košová, Michaela January 2021 (has links) The thesis focuses on the irreducibility of the concept of a person to scientific view of the world. The main inspiration for thematising this specific aspect of folk dualism comes from Donald Davidson (two realms) and Wilfrid Sellars (two images). The theoretical sections are complemented by reflexion on results of empirical studies provided mostly by experimental philosophy in order to demonstrate how this approach benefits attempts to reach complex view of philosophical questions that have close connection to moral dimension of human life. The first chapter addresses a wider concept of self and introduces the idea of the necessity to bring the two conceptual realms on the scene: there is a specific conceptual realm (irreducible to physical realm or scientific image) enabling proper grasp of the concept of a person. The subsequent chapters address particular sub-concepts of the concept of self. The second chapter focuses on the concept of free will, and by referring to different views it points to the necessity to bring folk concepts into consideration. It concludes that the folk concept of free agent is transcendent with regard to scientific accounts and bears certain "supernatural" characteristics connected to the concept of conscious will. The third (and central) chapter brings focus on the...
