Language – Logic – Science

A collection of papers delivered at the Slovak-Czech conference on analytic philosophy in Pec. The articles concern: the analysis of natural language, logic and philosophical problems of science.
Analysis of Mind
Nosek, Jiří
The article deals with the origin of conception of analysis in Greek philosophy and with application of this conception to mind in Plato’s philosophy.
Emergence or Supervenient Epifenomenal Ontology?
Havlík, Vladimír
The article deals with a theory of emergence and her role in the contemporary estimation of the theory of complexity. The main focus is layed on the "ontological emergence" and on the development of the theory of emergence from the "British emergentism" to the recent approaches. This article tries to prove inconclusiveness of Kim's arguments against the possibility of ontological emergence.
Games and the meaning of logical connectives
Majer, Ondrej
The main topic of the article is different understanding of logical connectives in logical systems (this is demonstrated on classical, intuitionistic and linear logic). The article focuses on the question how are the differences between the connectives captured in the game interpretation of the corresponding logical systems and on the adequacy of the game thoretical framework for characterising these differences.
Norms
Svoboda, Vladimír
The paper deals with the general analysis of the concept of norms and with questions concerning the ontology of norms. An approach in which norms are conceived as relations of a specific kind is outlined. Logico-semantic aspects of this approach are also considered.
What is semantics?
Peregrin, Jaroslav
The traditional, Carnap's definition of semantics declares semantics to be the study of the relations between expressions and extralinguistic entities (while syntax is the the study of the relations among expressions and pragmatics is the study of the relations between expressions and their users). The paper argues that this definition is useless and proposes another one: semantics is the study of the 'basic' rules for using expressions (while syntax is the study of which expressions are used and pragmatics is the study of the residual aspects of their use).
Semidescriptions, Descriptions, Identification and Linguistic Competence
Koťátko, Petr
The author explores the identificatory function of descriptions and the specific nature of the identificatory knowledge provided by them.
Language and World: the Common Sense Realism
Koťátko, Petr
The author draws consequences from the realistic account of language as one of the parametres of the human form of life in the real world and argues against the account of the world as a linguistic construct.
H. Poincaré - New considerations on the foundations of geometry
Sousedík, Prokop
The author discusses the foundations of geometry in the period after the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries. It focuses mainly on the contribution of the French philosopher and mathematician H. Poincaré.
Syntetické pojmy a priori
Duží, M. ; Materna, Pavel
Concepts are explicated as objective procedures ("constructions" in transparent intensional logic). All mathematical concepts are a priori. Analytic mathematical concepts are effective procedures that compute some recursive functions. Synthetic mathematical concepts either identify a non-recursive function or identify a recursive function in a non-effective way. There are more synthetic concepts a priori than analytic concepts a priori.
