Hardcover/Hardback. Condizione: Fine. The idea of enlightenment entails liberty equality rationalism secularism and the connection between knowledge and human well being. In spite of the setbacks of revolutionary violence political mass murder and two world wars the spread of enlightenment values has become the yardstick by which moral political and even scientific advances are measured. Indeed most critiques of the enlightenment ideal point to failure in implementation rather than principle. By contrast David Stove in On Enlightenment attacks the intellectual roots of enlightenment thought to define the limitations of its successes and the areas of its likely failures. Stove is not insensitive to the many valuable aspects of enlightenment thought. He champions the use of reason and rationality and recognizes the falsity of religious claims as well as the importance of individual liberty. What he rejects is the enlightenment's uncritical optimism regarding social progress and its willingness to embrace revolutionary change. What evidence is there that the elimination of superstition will lead to happiness? Or that it is possible to accept Darwinism without Social Darwinism? Or that the enlightenment's liberal rationalistic outlook will ever lead to the kind of social progress envisioned by its advocates. Despite their best intentions social reformers who attempt to improve the world as a whole inevitably make things worse. He advocates a conservative 'go slow' approach to change pointing out that today's social structures are so large and complex that any widespread social reform will have innumerable unforeseen consequences. For example the welfare state may diminish individual initiative the use of pesticides may increase the food supply while polluting the water supply the popularizing of university education may lead to a decline in academic standards. Since government has a virtual monopoly on large-scale change it follows in Stove's view that its powers must be limited in order to prevent large-scale damage. Instead he argues that reforms when they are to be made at all must be realistic local necessary and never coercive. Writing in the conservative tradition of Edmund Burke with the same passion for clarity and intellectual honesty as George Orwell David Stove was one of the most precise articulate and insightful philosophers of his day. 'Never just an academic Stove was also a prominent often crotchety public intellectual of a conservative and all too often reactionary bent many of whose views were extremist on any account and his targets were many. . For Stove the important question about a belief is not whether it is extreme or mainstream but whether it is true or probable or has sound evidentiary and/or rational credentials. In this he was surely right.' -D. D. Todd Philosophy in Review David Stove 1927-1994 taught philosophy at the University of New South Wales and the University of Sydney. He is the author of Against the Idols of the Age and Scientific Irrationalism both available from Transaction. Andrew Irvine is professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia Vancouver. Roger Kimball is managing editor of the New Criterion. | Pages: 232.…

Soft Cover. Condizione: Very Good. Paperback, crease to one corner. 128 pages, clean and tight. Popper, Lakatos, Kuhn and Feyerabend occupy leading positions in Western philosophy of science in this century. To them we owe the prevailing view that scientific knowledge is never true (nor even probable), and never false (nor even improbable). Even the best scientific opinion, at any time, is nothing more than an unjustified conjecture, a socially-imposed dogma, or a fashionable gestalt. Some consequences of this attitude to scientific truth verge on the lunatic, and David Stove demonstrates how irrationalists turn the trick of concealing absurdity by a variety of logical and linguistic devices. He then examines the aetiology of the irrationalist thesis, and traces the fatal conjunction of empiricism with perfectionism back to Hume: 'Nothing fatal to empiricist philosophy of science follows from the admission that arguments from the observed to the unobserved are not the best, unless this admission is combined, as it was by Hume, with the fatal assumption that only the best will do.' In this business-like declothing of philosophical emperors, he performs a valuable service for all students of philosophy. By exposing the 'frivolous elevation of the critical attitude into a categorical imperative of intellectual life', he resurrects a philosophical basis for holding that, for example. Harvey's theory of the circulation of the blood was right. or that Ptolemaic astronomy was wrong, or that scientific knowledge has advanced over the last four hundred years. For non-philosophers and others who have always held such views, David Stove provides a lucid and amusing account of an extraordinary movement in the history of ideas. Size: 8vo.…
