Colin Murray Turbayne

Turbayne was born on February 7, 1916, in the rural town of Tannymorel in Queensland, Australia.[https://books.google.com/books?id=DsKvAwAAQBAJ&dq=Colin+Murray+Turbayne&pg=PA2451 Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers Shook, John. 2005 Biography of Colin Murray Turbayne on Google Books] His father, David Livingston Turbayne, was a banker and his mother, Alice Eva Rene Lahey, was descended from an early pioneer family in Queensland.

Colin received his earliest education at the Church of England Grammar School in Brisbane, where he was both a cricketer and Head Prefect. He completed his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia in 1940 as well as an MA degree in 1946. During World War II he worked for Australian Intelligence in the Pacific War theatre and served as chief of staff for Australian intelligence to Douglas MacArthur in several pacific theatres.[https://berkeleystudies.philosophy.fsu.edu/sites/g/files/upcbnu886/files/BS%20017%202006%20Turbayne%20Obit.pdf In Memorium: Colin Murray Turbayne Paul J. Olscamp - President Emeritus Bowing Green State University "Berkely Newsletter" on berkelystudies.philosophy.fsu]

In 1940 he married Ailsa Krimmer and subsequently raised a family of two boys: Ron and John. They remained married for fifty-one years until her death in 1992.[https://berkeleystudies.philosophy.fsu.edu/sites/g/files/upcbnu886/files/BS%20017%202006%20Turbayne%20Obit.pdf In Memorium: Colin Murray Turbayne Paul J. Olscamp - President Emeritus Bowling Green State University "Berkely Newsletter" on berkelystudies.philosophy.fsu]

After emigrating to the United States following the conclusion of World War II in 1947, he undertook graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1950 he earned both his MA and PhD degrees in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania.

His PhD dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania Constructions Versus Inferences in the Philosophy of Bertrand Russell focused on the philosophical works of the British philosopher and logician Bertrand Russell (1950). His MA dissertation at the University of Queensland focused on Berkeley's philosophy as embodied in his Commonplace book (1947).[https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=su%3a%22Academic%20theses%22+AND+kw%3a%22Turbayne,%20Colin%20Murray%22 Colin Murray Turbayne - academic thesis on worldcat.org]

Following the completion of his advanced studies, Turbayne acquired his first academic post as an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Washington. He remained on the faculty from 1950 until 1955. Subsequently, he served as an assistant professor of speech at the University of California at Berkley from 1955 until 1957. Soon thereafter, he was appointed as an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Rochester in 1957. A short time later in 1962, he was promoted to professor of philosophy and continued to teach at the University of Rochester until his appointment to professor emeritus in 1981.

In addition to serving as a lecturer, Turbayne was a noted authority and researcher on the philosophical insights of George Berkeley. Over the years, he edited several of Berkeley's works and essays, while helping to sustain interest in Berkeley's works during the mid twentieth century. In addition, he was the first commentator to recognize the central importance of metaphor in the philosophy of Berkeley.Murphy, Jeffrie G. "Berkeley and the Metaphor of Mental Substance." Ratio 7 (1965):171, note 3. He is best known for his book The Myth of Metaphor. A critical reviewer described the work as a "welcome addition to the analysis of metaphorical language".{{cite journal |last1=Hesse |first1=Mary |title=Review of The Myth of Metaphor |journal=Foundations of Language |date=1966 |volume=2 |issue=3 |pages=282–284 |jstor=25000234 }}

In his book The Myth of Metaphor, Turbayne argues that metaphor would necessarily occur in any language that could ever claim to embody richness and depth of understanding.Murphy, Jeffrie G. "Berkeley and the Metaphor of Mental Substance." Ratio 7 (1965):176. In addition, he provides a critical analysis of the simplistic Cartesian and Newtonian depictions of the universe as little more than a "machine", a concept that underlies much of the scientific materialism which prevails in the modern Western world. He also provides evidence that the philosophical concept of "material substance" or "substratum" has limited meaning at best and that modern man has unknowingly fallen victim to an unnecessary literal interpretation of one of many potentially beneficial metaphorical models of the universe.[http://www.sas.rochester.edu/phl/about/prize.html The University of Rochester Department of Philosophy- Berkley Essay Prize Competition - History of the Prize Colin Turbayne's The Myth of Metaphor on rochester.edu][https://www.theculturium.com/greg-goode-colin-turbayne-and-the-myth-of-metaphor/ The Culturium - "Greg Goode Colin Turbayne and the Myth of Metaphor" January 15,2017 on theculturium.com][https://books.google.com/books?id=DsKvAwAAQBAJ&dq=Colin+Murray+Turbayne&pg=PA2451 Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers Shook, John. 2005 p. 2451 Biography of Colin Murray Turbayne on Google Books][https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/metaphor/#MetaMakeBeli "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Metaphor" Stanford University, August 19, 2011 Revised August 12, 2022 "Section 5. Recent Developments 5.3 Metaphor and Make Believe" ISSN 1095-5054. Colin Turbayne's "The Myth of Metaphor" and "It is easy to loose sight of metaphorical pretense. We may mistake the model for a real instance of what it models...take literally what was originally mean metaphorically. ...Berkeley and his mechanist rivals...set out to offer metaphors but end up propounding theories; they lost track of their own "as ifs" and became victims of their own insights" See Hills, David, "Metaphor", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2024 Edition), Edward N. Zalta & Uri Nodelman (eds.), URL = . on plato.stanford.edu]

With this in mind, Turbayne argues that one can identify at least three instances of sort-crossing in which both René Descartes and Isaac Newton became victimized by metaphors which they incorporated into their scientific methodology while attempting to explain the natural world within the context of a mechanistic philosophy. In the first example, Turbayne notes that both men rely upon the certainty of the use of deduction while demonstrating the relationship between principles and theorems in their respective methodologies. This necessary relationship is then inexplicably exported, however, from their process of explaining the natural world into the physical world itself under the guise of "active principles", which generate a necessary causal chain of events. In Turbayne's view, this confusion amounts to a '"procedure-process shift" which transpires in accordance with the linguistic Principle of Association. This principle describes an evolutionary process through which those things which are observed to "go-together" subsequently suggest each other, acquire the same names and finally are thought of as being the same or examples of the same sort. As a result of this confusion, the natural world suddenly obeys the logic of the deductive methodology utilized by both philosophers.[https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Search/Home?type%5B%5D=author&lookfor%5B%5D=Colin%20Murray%20Turbayne&page=1&pagesize=100&ft=ft The Myth of Metaphor. Turbayne, Colin Murray. Yale University Press London (1962) pp. 46-47 on hathitrust.org]

In his second example of sort-crossing, Turbayne clarifies the manner in which both Descartes and Newton unknowingly equate all explanation with physical explanation and ultimately with causal explanation. It is apparent from Decartes' Three Natural Laws and Newton's Three Laws of Motion, that both philosophers bifurcated the natural world into "effects" and "causes". The former consist of "bodies at rest" or "bodies in motion" while the latter consist of "resistance", "gravity" or "attraction". Turbayne argues that both philosophers mistakenly concluded that any deductive explanation of the natural world must first be founded upon a causal relationship between these different sorts. For Descartes, the explanation rests with causal laws while for Newton, the explanation rests with causal forces which are embedded within natural events. Yet investigations by both philosophers failed to uncover direct evidence of such "active forces" or "active principles" as required by their own respective scientific methodologies. Turbaye argues that by ascribing such forces to bodies in the external natural world both Descartes and Newton have fallen victim to a form of "hylopsychism" by unknowingly assigning a property which we observe only in ourselves as living beings into the external natural world.[https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Search/Home?type%5B%5D=author&lookfor%5B%5D=Colin%20Murray%20Turbayne&page=1&pagesize=100&ft=ft The Myth of Metaphor.

In his final example of sort-crossing, Turbayne calls attention to the apriori identification made by both Descartes and Newton of the term deduction with the term calculation or with any other form of reckoning in general. In Turbayne's view, both philosophers are correct in asserting that one of the defining characteristics of the scientific methodology is a reliance upon the use of synthesis in demonstrations. Their error lies, however, in embracing a view of the scientific method which is far too narrow by relying exclusively upon the use of mathematical terms within the process. While mathematical computations, differential equations or the study of geometric lines may indeed prove beneficial within the scientific method, one must avoid the temptation to call upon them to serve as the sole defining featuring of the process itself to the exclusion of alternate terms of explanation.[https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Search/Home?type%5B%5D=author&lookfor%5B%5D=Colin%20Murray%20Turbayne&page=1&pagesize=100&ft=ft The Myth of Metaphor. Turbayne, Colin Murray. Yale University Press London (1962) pp. 49-50 on hathitrust.org]

Another central theme of The Myth of Metaphor is Turbayne's analysis of Berkelely's theory of vision and his theory of space as compared to Newtonian mechanics. Turbayne demonstrates that Berkeley's "language metaphor" provides a more convincing explanation of various natural phenomena including the Barrovian case, the case of the horizontal moon, and the case of the inverted retinal image.

Turbayne also provides a detailed review of Berkeley's effort to dispel the confusing use of metaphorical language in the description of the mind and in the description of ideas in general through the misuse of hypotheses that were initially developed to explain such occurrences in the physical world. As a result, Turbayne has been described as one of the leading interpreters of Berkeley's theories of vision and relative motion as well as Berkeley's relationship to both Kant and Hume.[https://contentdm.carleton.edu/digital/collection/CarlMisc/id/6551 The Carleton Miscellany, 1965 Spring, Carleton College pp. 94-101 Critical Review of The Myth of Metaphor by Colin Murray Turbayne on Carleton Digital Collections at carleton.edu]

In his final book, Metaphors for the Mind: The Creative Mind and Its Origins (1991), Turbayne illustrates the manner in which historical traditions in philosophical thought have contributed to accepted modern theories of human thought in general and theories of language in particular.[http://www.sas.rochester.edu/phl/about/prize.html The University of Rochester Department of Philosophy- Berkley Essay Prize Competition - History of the Prize Colin Turbayne's Metaphors for the Mind: The Creative Mind and Its Origins on rochester.edu] Turbayne provides a review of the early philosophical writings of both Plato and Aristotle, while illustrating the manner in which Platonic metaphors have influenced the works of both Berkeley and Immanuel Kant.{{cite book | last=Turbayne | first=Colin Murray | title=Metaphors for the mind : the creative mind and its origins | publisher=University of South Carolina Press | publication-place=Columbia, S.C. | date=1991 | isbn=0-87249-699-6 | oclc=21675468}}{{cite journal | last=Bracken | first=Harry M. | title=Colin Murray Turbayne., Metaphors for the Mind: The Creative Mind and Its Origins | journal=International Studies in Philosophy | publisher=Philosophy Documentation Center | volume=26 | issue=2 | year=1994 | issn=0270-5664 | doi=10.5840/intstudphil1994262171 | pages=151}} In addition, he demonstrates the manner in which Plato's procreation model as outlined within his Timaeus has influenced modern theories of thought and language. He concludes by attempting to restore the original model which describes a mind in which both the female and male hemispheres function in concert to participate in the act of creation. A critical reviewer of the book noted that it contains interesting material which is likely to both provoke and surprise its readers. In addition, it has been described as presenting a contribution to the modern philosophical debate concerning relativism and philosophical realism.

In this essay, Turbayne advances the thesis that Berkeley diplomatically upheld two different theories of the mind, the first of which he describes as an "official theory" intended for public presentation and the second which was confined to his private thoughts. As evidence, Turbayne points to the final pages of Berkeley's personal notebook Philosophical Commentaries. Here Berkeley provides clues that he may abandon the concept of a universal "thinking substance, something unknown" (687) or "the substance of Spirit we do not know, it not being knowable" (701). As Turbayne notes, Berkeley publicly embraced several doctrines which are compatible with Christian theology in an effort "to use utmost caution not to give the least handle of offense to the Church or Church-men (715)." In this view, Berkeley's public defense of the terms "mental substance" and God was intended to be interpreted purely in a metaphorical sense rather than as a literal expression of his private philosophical beliefs.{{cite journal| last=Turbayne| first=C.

Turbayne has been described as being convinced of phenomenalism, as well as being skeptical of the validity of materialism. In addition, he has been cited as supporting the view that metaphors are properly characterized as "categorical mistakes" that may lead an unsuspecting user to considerable obfuscation of thought.[https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/metaphor/#MetaMakeBeli "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Metaphor" Stanford University.

In the early 1990s, Colin M. Turbayne and his wife established an International Berkeley Essay Prize competition in cooperation with the Philosophy Department at the University of Rochester in order to encourage continued research into Berkeley's works by aspiring young scholars.[http://www.rochester.edu/college/PHL/prize.html Colin and Ailsa Turbayne International Berkeley Essay Prize Competition]

Turbayne's philosophical lectures at the University of Rochester were often punctuated with illustrative re-enactments of scenes from Shakespearian drama to illustrate his arguments. It was not at all unusual for him to appear before his students at lectures dressed in cloak and dagger quoting the moving scene from MacBeth: "Is this a dagger that I see before me..?" in order to illustrate the use of metaphor. He was considered a master Socratic interrogator who gently guided his students to the proper conclusion. He was also noted for his skillful use of the reductio ad absurdum in his lectures. Standing ovations from his students were commonplace throughout his long tenure at the university.

Colin Murray Turbayne died on May 16, 2006, in Queensland, Australia at the age of 90. He was survived by his two sons and two grandchilden.
