Wilfrid Sellars on Truth
No full textThis book offers an innovative defense of Wilfrid Sellars’s notion of ideal truth.
Sellars adopts two attractive ideas about truth: the pragmatist idea that the concept of truth cannot be understood independently from the norms and practices we find ourselves with and the realist idea that there is one ultimate truth about how the world is. Sellars is thus committed both to an immanent notion of truth and an ideal notion of truth. This book discusses these countervailing tendencies and tries to reconcile them. The author’s defense of Sellars’s notion of truth minimizes problematic commitments while still being recognizably rooted in Sellars’s texts. Additionally, the author defends several innovative claims with respect to Sellars’s thinking, for example, about the relative unimportance of his controversial concept of pictorial adequacy and about the neglected significance of considerations concerning context-sensitive expressions in his thought.
"Wilfrid Sellars on Truth" will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Wilfrid Sellars, pragmatism, and questions about truth, naturalism, and scientific realism

Fārābī against the Grammarians??
No full textIn the 4h/10th century al-Fārābī in his book Kitāb al-Ḥurūf gave a highly
original account of how a language is introduced and extended within a
community. The account seems at first to be very different from anything in
Sībawayhi, and one modern writer has described al-Fārābī as ‘in direct
confrontation to the Arab grammarians’. But on closer inspection there are
themes common to al-Fārābī and Sībawayhi, for example the role played by
similarity (šibh) between expressions. Also the background structure of
meanings, which al-Fārābī stresses, can certainly be seen at work in some of
Sībawayhi’s descriptions. The impression that al-Fārābī seeks to give, that
unlike the grammarians of Arabic he has a range of languages under scrutiny
in parallel, is probably fake. Perhaps the most significant differences between
the two authors’ accounts are al-Fārābī’s broader intellectual perspective and
Sībawayhi’s greater scientific rigour. The two authors of the present paper
contributed to FAL3 and FAL4 part of their work on a joint project to
compare the views of al-Sīrāfī and Ibn Sīnā on language, and in particular on
the role of meaning and its interaction with syntax. For FAL5 Amal Marogy
invited the contributors to ‘focus on the challenges to the Kitāb’s status
during the formative and medieval periods of Arabic grammatical activities’.
Since neither al-Sīrāfī nor Ibn Sīnā can be regarded as posing a challenge to
the status of the Kitāb, we decided to break away from our joint project and
look elsewhere. Since one of us has recently been closely involved with the
linguistic and logical views of al-Fārābī, we wondered if he could be regarded
as posing a challenge to Sībawayhi. There are hints that it might be. For
example Cornelia Schoeck describes al-Fārābī’s theory of language as ‘in
direct confrontation to the Arab grammarians’. Also Kees Versteegh
comments that ‘[Al-Fārābī’s] open admission of a lacuna in Arabic compared
to all other languages is quite unusual in Arabic writings; it would certainly
be unthinkable in a grammatical treatise’. Could al-Fārābī be considered as a
kind of accidental radd author? We will argue No. Although al-Fārābī’s
description of language is at first sight very different from that of the linguists,
we believe he never intended to disagree with the linguists (Sībawayhi or any
other—his linguistics is not really sophisticated enough to distinguish
between one linguist and another). Rather he set out to explain the
procedures of Arabic linguists from a philosophical point of view. We will
describe some key features of his account, and say what we take them to be
explaining
De l’origine d’une collection, Wilfrid Richard et les siens, sculpteurs animaliers
No full textEn 2014, Bernard Genest cédait au Musée de la civilisation du Québec une collection de sculptures animalières provenant pour une bonne part de Wilfrid Richard (1894-1994), l’un des maîtres de l’art populaire au Québec. Dans son article, l’auteur fait un retour sur les circonstances de sa rencontre avec l’artiste et sur ce qui l’a amené à entreprendre sa démarche de collectionnement. Persuadé qu’il était en présence d’artefacts qui allaient échapper au patrimoine québécois, il entama au début des années 1970 un long processus d’enquête. Au fil du temps, il allait réaliser que Wilfrid Richard était le maillon d’une chaîne de transmission d’une tradition s’étalant sur quatre générations. L’auteur dresse un portrait sommaire des membres de la famille qui, à travers une production distinctive mais dont la filiation est évidente, ont contribué à la construction d’un corpus reconnu par la Commission canadienne d’examen des exportations des biens culturels comme d’intérêt exceptionnel et d’importance nationale. Aux yeux du collectionneur, les oeuvres ainsi rassemblées devaient revenir à la population plutôt que d’être dispersées à travers le Québec, le Canada ou les États-Unis.In 2014, Bernard Genest offered to the Museum of Civilization in Québec City a collection of animal sculptures produced mostly by Wilfrid Richard (1894-1994), one of Québec’s masters of folk art. In this article, the author describes the circumstances of his meeting with the artist and explains what led him to undertake a collecting process. Convinced that he was in the presence of heritage artifacts that would be lost to Québec society, he began an in-depth research process in the early 1970s. Over time, he would realize that Wilfrid Richard was but one of the links in a family tradition that spanned four generations. The author sketches a picture of the members of this family, whose works each had distinct characteristics, while possessing obvious commonalities. Taken together, their body of works has been recognized by the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board as having national significance because of its exceptional qualities. In the eyes of the collector, these collected works should return to the people, rather than be dispersed throughout Québec, Canada or the United States
