Analytic ethics
once substantive content has been admitted, the challenge can be pushed further. Why say that content issecondary and expressive force primary? Noncognitivists will point to the success of their ‘internalist' account of therelation of moral judgment and motivation. But Foot challenges this. If a person calls their project an ethical marvelbecause it publicizes their company, we do not know what they are talking about. But someone who says, ‘Sure, aprogressive tax on incomes would be more...

Conceptual analysis
Kant's important idea that conceptual truths can be either analytic a priori or synthetic a priori is effectively erased by Gottlob Frege in his Foundations of Arithmetic (1884). Frege's overriding philosophical aim is to put mathematical proof on a firm footing by reducing the truths of arithmetic to analytic truths of logic. In view of this, the proper goal of an analysis is the production of non-circular, explanatory, yet meaning-preserving general definitions of fundamental concepts -...

Behaviourism, analytic
2 Influences and arguments A first, important influence on analytical behaviourism was the doctrine of verificationism. According to one version of this view,the meanings of statements are given by the procedures used to find out if they are true.

with the philosophical ideas of materialism, which holds that only matter exists; communism, which asserts that religion impedes human progress; and rationalism,which emphasizes analytic reasoning over other sources of knowledge.

Although nearly all contemporary materialists are atheists, the ancient Greek materialist Epicurusbelieved the gods wer...

Concepts
suggested that concept possession need not consist in knowing a definition, but in appreciating the role of a concept in thought and practice. Moreover, he claimed, a concept need not apply to things by virtue of some closed set of features captured by a definition, but rather by virtue of ‘family resemblances' among the things, a suggestion that has given rise in psychology to ‘prototype' theories of concepts. Most traditional approaches to possession conditions have been concerned with t...

Western Philosophy.
the popular belief in personal deities, but he failed to explain the way in which the familiar objects of experience could develop out of elements that are totally differentfrom them. Anaxagoras therefore suggested that all things are composed of very small particles, or “seeds,” which exist in infinite variety. To explain the way in whichthese particles combine to form the objects that constitute the familiar world, Anaxagoras developed a theory of cosmic evolution. He maintained that the activ...
