This volume brings together new essays that consider Wittgensteins treatment of the phenomenon of aspect perception in relation to the broader idea of conceptual novelty; that is, the acquisition or creation of new concepts, and the application of an acquired understanding in unfamiliar or novel situations. Over the last twenty years, aspect perception has received increasing philosophical attention, largely related to applying Wittgensteins remarks on the phenomena of seeing-as, found in Part II of Philosophical Investigations (1953), to issues within philosophical aesthetics. Seeing-as, however, has come to occupy a broader conceptual category, particularly in philosophy of mind and philosophical psychology. The essays in this volume examine the exegetical issues arising within Wittgenstein studies, while also considering the broader utility and implications of the phenomenon of seeing-as in the fields of aesthetics, philosophical psychology, and philosophy of mathematics, with a thematic focus on questions of novelty and creativity. The collection constitutes a fruitful interpretative engagement with the later Wittgenstein, as well as a unique contribution to considerations of philosophical methodology.About the AuthorMichael Beaney is Professor of Philosophy at the University of York.

Prospective versus Retrospective Points of View in Theory of Inquiry

Thomas Nickles

When we think of the worlds future, we always mean the destination it will reach if it keeps going in the direction we can see it going in now; it does not occur to us that its path is not a straight line but a curve, constantly changing direction.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Introduction

In the preface to The Structure of Scientific Revolutions , first published in 1962, Thomas Kuhn wrote that my most fundamental objective is to urge a change in the perception and evaluation of familiar data . Kuhn employed Wittgensteins duckrabbit Gestalt switch as a metaphor for the change that he believed scientists experience as they abandon their commitment to an entrenched scientific paradigm in favour of a new one. Indeed, Kuhn employed many perceptual flips in that work, some in the literal sense of visual perception, others in a more metaphorical sense of change of perspective. It was surely the number and depth of these reversals from traditional accounts that made Kuhns book the lightning rod that it became for both destructive criticism and constructive elaboration. Let me begin by listing the main switches and reversals, as I see them. After briefly explaining them, I shall focus on Kuhns reversal of the traditional historical perspective and attempt to extend it further. Here is my bare list of the interlocking changes of perspective that Kuhn introduced:

  • (1) Gestalt switches that individual scientists supposedly undergo regarding specific phenomena or problems, some literally perceptual and others intellectual
  • (2) Gestalt switches on a larger scale of entire paradigms, disciplinary matrices, or world views
  • (3) Gestalt switches on a still larger scale of scientific communities rather than individuals
  • (4) A change from theories to exemplars (paradigms in the small sense) as the key epistemic units in scientific practice, and the corresponding change from a directly truth seeking to a problem-solving conception of research
  • (5) A switch from an individualist, logical-justificationist to a more naturalistic socio-populational or community-based conception of scientific change in terms of scientists practices, a change in the culture or form of life of an expert community
  • (6) A switch from the philosophers post hoc view of science, above the fray, to the point of view of the scientific actors themselves
