0015 In comedies and in tragedies, the audience always knows something that the characters on stage do not.  I do not know whether Tabaczek’s enormous and grueling efforts are funny or futile in the eyes of God.  But no matter how God views the author’s long and arduous studies, I know this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tabaczek does not employ, analyze or justify the distinction between philosophers of science<\/em> (who are concerned about models) and analytical metaphysicians<\/em> (who are concerned about noumena).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tabaczek does analyze and review a massive amount of academic material<\/em> in his effort to show that a revised “neo-Aristotelianism”<\/em> is available to contemporary philosophers of science<\/em>.  Aristotle’s four causes<\/em> should assist philosophers of science who wrestle with the question of emergence<\/em>.  His academic work is diligent and earnest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0016 I see what Tabaczek is trying to do<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I conclude that his demonstration will inevitably fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0017 How so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My answer relies on Comments on Jacques Maritain’s Book (1935) Natural Philosophy,<\/em> as well as the commentaries listed in the series, Phenomenology and the Positivist Intellect<\/em>.  These are available at smashwords and other e-book venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following argument complements Tabaczek’s brief history of causality from the middle ages to the present (sections 1.3 to 1.5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0018 I start with the question, “What is judgment?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A judgment is a triadic relation consisting of three elements: relation, what is<\/em> and what ought to be<\/em>.  When each of these elements is assigned to one of Peirce’s categories, then the judgment becomes actionable.  Actionable judgments “unfold” into category-based nested forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the general form of judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In judgment, a relation<\/em> (category) brings what ought to be<\/em> (category) into relation with what is<\/em> (category).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0019 I already stated the empirio-schematic judgment.  Let me say it again.  Disciplinary language (relation<\/em>, thirdness) brings mathematical and mechanical models (what ought to be<\/em>, secondness) into relation with observations and measurements of phenomena (what is<\/em>, firstness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0020 The empirio-schematic judgment occupies the slot for what ought to be<\/em> for the Positivist’s judgment.  The fact that the Positivist’s judgment<\/em> contains the empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> is confusing.  Plus, the positivist intellect has a rule saying, “Metaphysics is not allowed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a simplified picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0021 Simplified?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Positivist’s judgment is initially formulated, in the early 1700s, as provincial mechanical philosophers (in northern Protestant Europe) reject the universal Latin-Age scholastics (in all of Europe, but mainly southern and Catholic Europe). These mechanical philosophers aim to narrow inquiry to the observations and measurements of phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relation in the Positivist’s judgment<\/em> is the positivist intellect, who enforces only one rule.  Metaphysics is not allowed.  This rule dooms Tabaczek’s quest from the start.  Aristotle’s four causes<\/em> allow the inquirer to understand the noumenon.  Modern science in the Age of Ideas<\/em> wants to mathematically and mechanically model observations and measurements of phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0022 The [and], the contiguity between a noumenon and its phenomena,<\/em> becomes a point of contention.  The argument ends up in a truce, of sorts.  Casual readers of Kant come up with a slogan to replace the [and], at least for advocates of science.  The substitute is [cannot be objectified as].  A noumenon<\/em> [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0023 To me, the what-is-ness of a noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena<\/em> dooms Tabaczek’s quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Tabaczek is rewarded his doctorate and his impossible project is written up and published by University of Notre Dame Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this indicate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Positivist’s judgment in trouble?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
