Teaduslik revolutsioon 15431600 I One of the most important developments in the western intellectual tradition was the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution was nothing less than a revolution in the way the individual perceives [ tajub ] the world. As such, this revolution was primarily an epistemological revolution it changed man's thought process. It was an intellectual revolution a revolution in human knowledge. Even more than Renaissance scholars who discovered man and Nature, the scientific revolutionaries attempted to understand and explain man and the natural world. Thinkers such as the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus(14731543), the French philosopher René Descartes(15961650) and the British mathematician Isaac Newton(16421727)
Ironically these antipostmodern authors use postmodern techniques, in this sense they are postmodern. John gardner. Thomas Pynchon-never gives autographs, never lets take a picture, not known in which year he was born. Playpostmodernism. ,,V.", ,,The Crying of Lot 49". Oedipa Maes-she is frustrated as other readers, doesn't know what is going on. Novel contains a lot of allusions, that may or may not be meaningful. This novel has been described as multidiscursive intertext or even as an epistemological journey. Ontology-idea of being, who we are. Epistemology- search of who we are. Oedipus search for knowledge, attempt to discover something. Even her name is an allusion to Oedipus. Oedipus knows something about her future, tires to avoid it, once he solves the sfinks riddle about the meaning of life, its the end of mystery. Oedipa is feminine and this Oedipus complex in psychoanalysis is normal for male. Obsecurity, oedipa doesn't want to follow her footsteps
tential expressions "have meanings" only derivatively from whole sentence meanings, he also recognizes a weak kind of compositionality, and so he may evade objection 3. And, admirably, he addresses some fairly detailed seman- tic phenomena: proper names, descriptions, indexicals, quantification, and anaphora, in terms of their characteristic contributions to the commitment/ entitlement potentials of sentences in which they occur.4 In any case, the centrality of epistemological notions to inferentialist theories--defense, support, justification, acceptance--suggests that the theories are closer in spirit to verification accounts than to Wittgenstein's original idea. See chapter 8. A somewhat different sort of "use" theory (Alston 1963, 2000; Barker 2004) is based on J. L. Austin's notion of "illocutionary force." But the latter concept will not be introduced until chapter 12. Now let us move on and look at a considerably different theory of mean- ing
