How DoesStrawson Unify Epistemology, Ontology and Logic

author

Abstract:

Strawson’s conception of analysis as a ‘connective linguistic analysis’ makes it possible for him to achieve an indefinitely large range of ideas or concepts among them are certain numbers of fundamental, general and pervasive concepts or concept-types which not only are pre-theoretical or ahistorical, but also together constitute a structural framework only within whichlogic, ontology and epistemology is possible. He takes it as a foundation for this conclusion that logic, ontology and epistemology are three aspects of one unified enquiry (or trio)and strengthensit by this assertion thatwe can understand this unity through considering the fundamental operation of our language. In this paper, after tracing the line of development of Strawson’s philosophical idea of the trio and specifying the fundamental operation of our language (or the common thread which makes this unity possible), we stipulate that it is by means of ‘connective linguistic analysis’ that Strawsonwas able to unify epistemology, ontology and logic.

The Ontology of Epistemology *

Ontology, as is well known, occupies a quite central position in the framework of Ingarden's thought, and there can be few philosophers who have awarded such importance to the discipline. Ingarden's method, in his metaphysics and aesthetics, as also in his general approach to phenomenology, can best be described as one of resolving problems by setting forth the available ontological options and...
