| 总结: | Epistemic Friction: An Essay on Knowledge, Truth and Logic is a recent workby the influential American analytical philosopher Gila Sher, professor of philosophyat the University of California, San Diego. Sher, expert in the thought of Tarskiand Quine, is also a noted contributor to technical debates in current symbolic logic. However, her work and the book in question –designed as one stepping-stone in theconstruction of a larger philosophical project – witness to very wide philosophicalpreoccupations. Sher therefore wishes to situate current research in logic within thebroader perspectives of philosophy of mind and epistemology. The philosophical visionshe outlines witnesses to the «openness» of the world of analytical philosophy inrecent times to revisit and perhaps even radically revise the presuppositions on whichit was founded over a century ago in order to pursue more authentically the goals ofphilosophical research. In a previous edition of Gregorianum I offered an outline of professor Gila Sher’ssignificant contribution to debates in current analytical philosophy on logic and thefoundations of mathematics as she situates these within the wider context of an attemptto provide a coherent epistemology - an epistemology which is fully cognisantof conceptual and method change over time. In this concluding part of the article, Ihighlight the way Bernard Lonergan’s thought, concerned as it is with many of thesame issues, can enter into a dialogue and dialectical exchange with Sher’s work andthe trends in analytical philosophy it represents. |
