Two dogmas of Empiricism

Ill founded

Modern Empiricism

Two Dogmas:

1. Analytic VS Synthetic

Grounded in fact

Grounded in meanings independently of matters of fact

2. Reductionism

The belief that each meaningful statement is equivalent to some logical construct upon terms which refer to immediate experience

2. Shift toward pragmatism

1. Blurring of supposed boundary between speculative metaphysics and natural science
