Ce livre est consacre a la question du synthetique a priori, telle qu'elle peut se poser en termes modernes, a la lumiere d'une confrontation entre les origines de la philosophie analytique et celles de la phenomenologie. On a souvent l'impression que, apres la critique virulente adressee par le Cercle de Vienne a Husserl, la question serait aujourd'hui definitivement reglee. Le probleme serait plutot de savoir si on peut sauver la purete d'une certaine forme d'analyticite de la remise en question quinienne du partage kantien entre verite analytique et synthetique. Pourtant un certain nombre de tentatives se font jour, sur le terrain meme de la philosophie analytique, non sans reference a la phenomenologie, de rehabiliter le concept de synthetique a priori. Le present ouvrage s'attache a un aspect meconnu de la pensee de Bernard Bolzano, pour en faire le principe d'une lecture critique de Kant, Husserl, Schlick et Wittgenstein. A la lumiere de ces rapprochements se noue un certain rapport entre phenomenologie, philosophie analytique et structuralisme et se dessine une autre conception de la phenomenologie, pour laquelle il n'y aurait de synthese que conceptuelle.

This compelling reevaluation of the relationship between logic and knowledge affirms the key role that the notion of judgement must play in such a review. The commentary repatriates the concept of judgement in the discussion, banished in recent times by the logical positivism of Wittgenstein, Hilbert and Schlick, and the Platonism of Bolzano. The volume commences with the insights of Swedish philosopher Per Martin-Löf, the father of constructive type theory, for whom logic is a demonstrative science in which judgement is a settled feature of the landscape. His paper opens the first of four sections that examine, in turn, historical philosophical assessments of judgement and reason; their place in early modern philosophy; the notion of judgement and logical theory in Wolff, Kant and Neo-Kantians like Windelband; their development in the Husserlian phenomenological paradigm; and the work of Bolzano, Russell and Frege. The papers, whose authors include Per Martin-Löf, Göran Sundholm, Michael Della Rocca and Robin Rollinger, represent a finely judged editorial selection highlighting work on philosophers exercised by the question of whether or not an epistemic notion of judgement has a role to play in logic. The volume will be of profound interest to students and academicians for its application of historical developments in philosophy to the solution of vexatious contemporary issues in the foundation of logic.

An authoritative exposition of the theory of relativity, this volume is the work of the leader of the famed Vienna Circle, Moritz Schlick. It offers an accessible approach to the physical doctrines of the special and general theories of relativity, with particular focus on the theories’ philosophic significance.Beginning with an overview of the importance of the Einsteinian theory to the realm of physics, the author proceeds to explain the special principle of relativity, the geometrical relativity of space, the mathematical formulation of spatial relativity, the inseparability of geometry and physics in experience, and the relativity of motion and its connection with inertia and gravitation. Additional topics include the general postulate of relativity and the measure-determinations of the space-time continuum, enunciation and significance of the fundamental law of the new theory, the finiteness of the universe, and the relation of the relativity theory of philosophy.Both as a clear, nonmathematical introduction to a complex subject and a definition of the theories’ philosophical ramifications, this book is outstanding. It will benefit teachers and students of philosophy and physics, along with anyone else who wants a better understanding of the ideas behind Einsteinian physics.

2015 Carol award finalist!Increasingly wary of her father’s genetic research, Rachel Kramer has determined that this trip with him to Germany―in the summer of 1939―will be her last. But a cryptic letter from her estranged friend, begging Rachel for help, changes everything. Married to SS officer Gerhardt Schlick, Kristine sees the dark tides turning and fears her husband views their daughter, Amelie, deaf since birth, as a blight on his Aryan bloodline.Once courted by Schlick, Rachel knows he’s as dangerous as the swastikas that hang like ebony spiders from every government building in Berlin. She fears her father’s files may hold answers about Hitler’s plans for others, like Amelie, whom the regime deems “unworthy of life.” She risks searching his classified documents only to uncover shocking secrets about her own history and a family she’s never known.Now hunted by the SS, Rachel turns to Jason Young―a driven, disarming American journalist and unlikely ally―who connects her to the resistance and to controversial theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Forced into hiding, Rachel’s every ideal is challenged as she and Jason walk a knife’s edge, risking their lives―and asking others to do the same―for those they barely know but come to love.
