81. One may get the impression that what has been said here is inapplicable at least to the Kantian conception of “Pure mathematics.” The latter is considered in the Critique of Pure Reason as a science whose subject-matter is determined by the apriori sense forms--space and time. That means that, from the Kantian standpoint, the speculative elements play a fundamental role in mathematical knowledge. However, mathematics as a science assumes, according to Kant, application of the logical categories of reason to the pure apriori sense forms. Kant’s conception of mathematics is thus different from Husserl’s. It is the latter rather than the former that underlies that modern trend in the substantiation of mathematics that became known as intuitionism.

32. Cf. le, following arguments of Spinoza about the essence of the circle. A circle may be “defined as a figure, such that all straight lines drawn from the centre to the circumference are equal” (B. Spi noza, How to Improve Your Mind, Philosophical Library, Inc. N.Y., 1956, pp. 79, 80). But this definition, Spinoza believes, “does not in the least explain the essence of a circle, but solely one of its properties” (ibid.), and a derivative, secondary property at that. That is merely a nominal definition. A real definition must e ress the proximate cause of a thing, and that in Spinoza ‘ s view is the same as specifying the mode of constructing the thing. The circle in this case will “be defined as follows: the figure described by any line where one end is fixed and the other free” (ibid.).

57. Dudley Shapere formulates the following features inherent in the real objects with which scientific theoretical thinking is concerned and which are absent in the idealised objects:
(1) If object A exists really, it can interact with other real objects, in particular macroscopic ones (which is not true of idealised objects);
(2) To say that “A exists” implies that A may have properties which have not yet been discovered;
(3) A real object A may be ascribed properties which it does not actually have, but which may subsequently come to light (it would obviously be meaningless to refer the features formulated in points (2 and (3) to idealised objects);
(4) If A actually exists, there may be different and even competing theories about it (as is actually the case with the electron); A thus acquires what amounts to a theory-transcendent status.

Whether other perceptions besides those which belong to the total of our possible experience, and consequently whether some other sphere of matter exists, the understanding has no power to decide, its proper occupation being with the synthesis of that which is given” (1.

62. True, in his “ Postscript- 19 69” Kuhn gives a less rigid formulation of the thesis about the existence of a gap between different paradigms. Taking into account that the everyday world, language, and most of the world of science are shared by members of different scientific communities, Kuhn now believes it possible to translate from the language of one paradigm into the language of another using the common vocabulary of everyday life.

73. The conception of ontological relativity points to the absurdity of arguments, current in modem American and British epistemological literature, concerning the possibility of the existence of a language (and consequently of reason and of a world picture) in beings which we ordinarily do not regard as sentient (e.g., tulips). The authors of these arguments substantiate their positions by assuming that the language to which they refer may be so different from ours that we cannot understand its meaning, the more so that the behaviour of the carriers of this language has nothing in common with human behaviour. We can even fail to guess that we are dealing with a language, these authors say. Situations of this kind are possible in their view in man’s contacts with sentient extraterrestrials: the latter do not have to be similar to man in appearance, they may behave in a manner completely strange to us and communicate in a manner quite different from ours. In this case we shall not recognise them as reasonable beings. Generally speaking, we may be surrounded by a mass of sentient beings, these authors believe, whose presence we do not even suspect and whose world is completely impervious to us. Quine sweeps aside all these arguments pointing out that there are no experimental data for their refutation or confirmation: our experience carries in itself the object scheme of world dissection which is accepted in our language. Here Quine’s position is reminiscent of Kant. See A. C. Genova , “Kant and Alternative Frameworks and Possible Worlds,” Akten des 4. Internationalen Kant-Kongresses, Mainz, 6-10 April, 1974, Tell 11. 2: Sektionen, Berlin-N.Y., pp. 834-841; R.

75. N Chomsky, a major modern proponent of the theory of generative grammars, uses the existence of language universals and the irreducibility of language to verbal behaviour as a basis for reviving the Cartesian conception of innate ideas. In reality, the universality of the primary semantic field, expressed through different language means in different languages, is determined by the community of the substantive structure of practical activity characteristic of the users of different national languages.

84. “The sign nature of verbal language has that advantage over the language of gestures that it permits to perform any changes or transformations with ideal objects implemented in verbal material. Verbal language, as compared to gesture language, is a more plastic material; one may reproduce in it all the properties and laws of the objective world with great precision and differentiation, and these properties may not coincide with those forms which are reproduced in gestures. As a crude analogy, one may consider plasticine (the word) and stone (gestures). Plasticine can precisely assume all kinds of intricate forms, while stone offers no such possibility. But the trouble is that the plasticity of the word must be handled very carefully, for it may produce properties that do not exist in the objective world.” (S.A.

Imre Lakatos thus analyses one of the stages in the history of proofs of the stereometric theorem: “If you did make conscious assumptions, they were that a) removing a face always leaves a connected network and b) any non-triangular face can be dissected into triangles by diagonals. While they were in your subconscious they were listed as trivially true-the cylinder however made them somersault into your conscious list as trivially false” (Ibid., p. 46).

S. A. Yanovskaya points to the “importance of achievements in the area of increasing logical rigour for obtaining new results in mathematics, for solving its most difficult problems, for constructing novel and revolutionary trends in science. Suffice it to recall that the greatest achievements in calculus in the 19th century were due to the increased precision of the basic concepts of calculus attained in several debates-those of real and complex number, limit, continuum, function. It may now be said that the image of modern mathematics, and computer mathematics in the first place, is increasingly determined by greater rigour and precision introduced in the concept of algorithm (and the equivalent concept of recursive or computable function) in the development of the philosophical and logical foundations of mathematics and the logical theory of mathematical proof...” (S. A. Yanovskaya, “On Mathematical Rigour,” Voprosy filosofii, 1966, No. 3, pp. 41, 42, 43).
97. Noting the impossibility of reducing one conceptual system to another , Quine believes that the classical epistemological problem of substantiating knowledge is a pseudoproblem. See e.g., Willard V. Quine , “Epistemology Naturalized.” In: The Psychology of Knowing, ed. by Joseph R. Royce and W. W. Rozeboom, Gordon and Breach, New York, 1972, pp. 9-23. In Lakatos’s view, “background knowledge is where we assume that we know everything but in fact know nothing” (Imre Ladatos, op. cit., p. 45). Popper, Feyerabend, and Kuhn also regard the problem of substantiating knowledge as meaningless.
