Avenarius - Richard Avenarius

Avenarius - Richard Avenarius

German philosopher. Professor at the University of Zurich from 1877 until his death. He was a thorough positivist and, together with the Austrian physicist and philosopher Mach, is known as the founder of empirical criticism, and had a great influence on the later development of logical positivism. His major work is the two-volume Critique of Pure Experience (1888-1890). According to him, the task of philosophy is to remove all metaphysical concepts, return to pure experience, and recover the concept of the natural world by describing it according to the principle of least power. He attempted to symbolize the entire range of human experience through mathematical operations, but his ideas drew fierce criticism from the materialist camp.

ドイツの哲学者。1877年より没年までチューリヒ大学教授。徹底した実証主義の立場にたち、オーストリアの物理学者・哲学者のマッハとともに経験批判論の創始者として知られ、後の論理実証主義の展開に大きな影響を及ぼした。主著に『純粋経験批判』2巻(1888~1890)がある。彼によれば、哲学の任務はいっさいの形而上(けいじじょう)学的概念を除去して純粋経験に立ち戻り、それを最小力量の原理に従って記述することを通じて、自然的世界概念を回復することにあるとされる。そして、人間経験の全領域を数学的操作で記号化しようとしたが、その思想は唯物論の陣営からの激しい批判を招いた。
