The book contributes to the refutation of the separation of
philosophy in the 20th century into analytic and continental. It is
shown that Edmund Husserl was seriously concerned with issues of
so-called analytic philosophy, that there are strict parallelisms
between Husserl's treatment of philosophical subjects and those of
authors in the analytic tradition, and that Husserl had a strong
influence on Rudolf Carnap's 'Aufbau'.
The present collection of seventeen papers, most of them already
published in international philosophical journals, deals both with
issues in the philosophy of logic, the philosophy of mathematics,
the philosophy of language and epistemology. The first part
contains critical assessments and somewhat deviant renderings of
the work of two seminal philosophers, Frege and Husserl, as well as
of the young Carnap and Kripke. The second part contains analyses
of central issues in the philosophy of logic, the philosophy of
mathematics and semantics, including arguments on behalf of
Platonism in the philosophy of mathematics, a defense of
second-order logic, a new definition of analyticity, a sketch of a
semantics for mathematical statements and a critique of Kripke's
possible world semantics for modal logic.
Gottlob Frege is one of the greatest logicians ever and also a
philosopher of great significance. In this book Rosado Haddock
offers a critical presentation of the main topics of Frege's
philosophy, including, among others, his philosophy of arithmetic,
his sense-referent distinction, his distinction between function
and object, and his criticisms of formalism and psychologism. More
than just an introduction to Frege's philosophy this book is also a
highly critical and mature assessment of it as a whole in which the
limitations, confusions and other weaknesses of Frege's thought are
closely examined. The author is also a Husserlian scholar and this
book contains valuable discussions of Husserl's neglected views and
comparisons between the two great philosophers.
Examining the scholarly interest of the last two decades in the
origins of logical empiricism, and especially the roots of Rudolf
Carnap's Der logische Aufbau der Welt (The Logical Structure of the
World), Rosado Haddock challenges the received view, according to
which that book should be inserted in the empiricist tradition. In
The Young Carnap's Unknown Master Rosado Haddock, builds on the
interpretations of Aufbau propounded by Verena Mayer and of
Carnap's earlier thesis Der Raum propounded by Sahotra Sarkar and
offers instead the most detailed and complete argument on behalf of
an Husserlian interpretation of both of these early works of
Carnap, as well as offering a refutation of the rival Machian,
Kantian, Neo-Kantian, and other more eclectic interpretations of
the influences on the work of the young Carnap. The book concludes
with an assessment of Quine's critique of Carnap's
'analytic-synthetic' distinction and a criticism of the direction
that analytic philosophy has taken in following in the footsteps of
Quine's views.
