Simplicity (Clarendon Library of Logic and Philosophy) Sober, Elliott Clarendon Press, Clarendon library of logic and philosophy, Oxford, England, 1975

[bookmarks added]Simplicity is often cited as a compelling factor in deciding which of several competing theories it is most reasonable to believe. Yet, the nature of simplicity has remained mysterious, in spite of the efforts of philosophers to explain what it is about theories, hypotheses, and explanations, that makes ’ them simple. Equally opaque is the justification for using simplicity as a criterion for belief.Professor Sober in this book attempts to solve these problems by first defining a concept of informativeness. He then argues that simplicity is informativeness, and shows that this theory illuminates our intuitive judgements about the simplicity of a variety of hypotheses. He examines very general inferential policies that seem to embody our taste for simplicity and devotes special attention to some issues in contemporary linguistics and psychology of perception. In the course of elaborating the theory, he discusses the idea of natural properties and natural kinds and tries to show their connection with simplicity. Other topics that he examines in the book include aesthetic simplicity, the simplicity of formal systems, and the’ nature ot justification.Elliott Sober graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1969, and worked for four years as a research student at the University of Cambridge and Harvard University He is now Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin.

ia/nathanwise00gott.pdf

Nathan the Wise: a dramatic poem in five acts Translated into English verse by Bayard Quincy Morgan New York, Ungar, College translations, New York, New York State, 1955

Nathan the Wise (original German title: Nathan der Weise) is the last play published by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. The play was published in 1779; its world premiere took place only in 1783, two years after Lessing's death, at the Döbbelinsches Theater in Berlin. It is a fervent plea for religious tolerance. Set in Jerusalem during the Third Crusade, just after the 1187 taking of Jerusalem by Saladin (1187), it describes how the wise Jewish merchant Nathan, the enlightened sultan Saladin, and the (initially anonymous) Templar, bridge their gaps between Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Its major themes are friendship, religious and social tolerance, the value of inherited traditions of religion (and the damage done when those of different religious persuasions attack each other instead of focusing on the welfare of humankind), the validation of human goodness and moral intelligence as the source of good in the world, and the need for communication, self-questioning, and openness to others' good intentions.
