Pragmatism and analytic philosophy are uniquely American movements because they are way different in theory to the European pragmatism and analytic philosophy‚ known as continental philosophy. Bruder and Moore (2002) stated that pragmatism is an American theoretical movement that was made up in the 1870s by C.S. Peirce. Pragmatists refused to believe the idea that that there is such a thing as an independent and unmodifiable truth. Pragmatists believe that truth is associated with a time‚ place‚

philosophers had a “scientific envy‚” wanting to make philosophy more scientific. Their method to become more “scientific” was to create the Verification Principle. It states that “A statement is cognitively meaningful if and only if it is either analytic or in principle empirically verified.” They thought that if something cannot be verified analytically or by experiment‚ then there is no need to debate about it. To understand this principle‚ one must understand some of the key terms and concepts

meaningful if and only if it can be verified by the sense observation or a tautology. By this he means that they are either a priori (before sense experience) analytic‚ where the predicate is entailed by the subject‚ or a posteriori (after sense experience) synthetic‚ where the predicate is not entailed by the subject. An example of a priori analytic statement would be that ‘all unmarried men are bachelors’ and this is also a tautology as it is true by definition. An example of a posteriori synthetic statement

René Descartes’ Mathematical legacy One of Descartes’ most enduring legacies was his development of Cartesian or analytic geometry‚ which uses algebra to describe geometry. He "invented the convention of representing unknowns in equations by x‚ y‚ and z‚ and knowns by a‚ b‚ and c". He also "pioneered the standard notation" that uses superscripts to show the powers or

Critically assess Wittgenstein’s belief that language games allow religious statements to have meaning. [35 marks] The term “religious language” refers to statements or claims made about God or gods‚ the debate over the meaning of religious language is one that is very controversial. One philosopher to join this debate and present a theory on religious language was Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein is considered by some to be the greatest philosopher of the 20th century; Wittgenstein played a central and
