Former positivist talks Wednesday
Professor Herbert Feigl of the University of Minnesota told faculty and students yesterday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union that Charles Sanders Pearce's "How to Make Our Ideas Clear" contains the Viennese spirit of logical positivism of the 1920's.
Feigl was once a member of the positivist group. The Viennese philosophers analyzed the phenomenon of communication media.
He said the most important process of communication is the medium or method of language.
"The function and type of significance of language has never been settled," he said.
WEATHER
Generally fair and warmer weather is predicted by the U.S. Weather Bureau for Friday. The low tonight to be near 20 degrees. High Friday in the upper 40's.
"FOR INSTANCE, the meaning of a communication might evoke an outright action or modulate one," he added.
He then divided meaning into three areas.
First, there is belief, then faith, and, finally, commitment. An act of faith is based on revelation, even though he could not understand the credo of the theologians who are atheists, Professor Feigl said.
However, from the international scene to the family level, it is commitment which has the greatest significance, he said.
"No matter what your religious conviction is, without commitment nothing matters," he said.
Labor group will circulate plea today
Student Labor Organization petitions asking the State Board of Regents for higher student wage allocations in the KU budget will be circulated today instead of Wednesday as planned.
Carl Bangs, Prairie Village junior and secretary-treasurer of the group, said because an SLO meeting could not be held until last night the campaign would not begin until today.
Petitions will be circulated in the residence bells and on campus, Bangs said.
