Download or read book Kuhn Vs. Popper written by Steve Fuller and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper debated the nature of science only once, the legacy of this encounter has dominated intellectual and public discussions on the topic ever since. Kuhn's relativistic vision of science as just another human activity, like art or philosophy, triumphed over Popper's more positivistic belief in revolutionary discoveries and the superiority of scientific provability. Steve Fuller argues that not only has Kuhn's dominance had an adverse impact on the field but both thinkers have been radically misinterpreted in the process.
Book Synopsis Popper and His Popular Critics by : Joseph Agassi
Download or read book Popper and His Popular Critics written by Joseph Agassi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines Popper’s philosophy by analyzing the criticism of his most popular critics: Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend and Imre Lakatos. They all followed his rejection of the traditional view of science as inductive. Starting from the assumption that Hume’s criticism of induction is valid, the book explores the central criticism and objections that these three critics have raised. Their objections have met with great success, are significant and deserve paraphrase. One also may consider them reasonable protests against Popper’s high standards rather than fundamental criticisms of his philosophy. The book starts out with a preliminary discussion of some central background material and essentials of Popper’s philosophy. It ends with nutshell representations of the philosophies of Popper. Kuhn, Feyerabend and Lakatos. The middle section of the book presents the connection between these philosophers and explains what their central ideas consists of, what the critical arguments are, how they presented them, and how valid they are. In the process, the author claims that Popper's popular critics used against him arguments that he had invented (and answered) without saying so. They differ from him mainly in that they demanded of all criticism that it should be constructive: do not stop believing a refuted theory unless there is a better alternative to it. Popper hardly ever discussed belief, delegating its study to psychology proper; he usually discussed only objective knowledge, knowledge that is public and thus open to public scrutiny.

Book Synopsis Popper y Kuhn by : Carlos Ulises Moulines
Download or read book Popper y Kuhn written by Carlos Ulises Moulines and published by Shackleton Books. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las revolucionarias teorías científicas de principios del siglo XX (las teorías de la relatividad de Einstein y la mecánica cuántica) contribuyeron de forma decisiva a la eclosión de la filosofía de la ciencia, que se ha convertido desde entonces en una de las ramas centrales de la disciplina. En ese proceso, destacan por encima de todas dos figuras clave, que con sus aportaciones han modelado nuestra manera de entender la ciencia y el conocimiento: Karl Popper y Thomas Kuhn son indiscutiblemente los dos filósofos de la ciencia más influyentes. El primero concibió una nueva metodología científica, el falsacionismo, según la cual la principal misión de la investigación consiste, no en verificar las teorías científicas, sino en falsarlas, es decir, buscar casos concretos que las refuten. En el campo de las ideas sociales y políticas, Popper desplegó una crítica sistemática de toda forma de totalitarismo. Por su parte, Kuhn alcanzó gran renombre por su interpretación del desarrollo histórico de la ciencia como una sucesión de paradigmas, cada uno de los cuales guía la investigación durante un largo periodo hasta que entra en crisis y es sustituido, a través de una revolución científica, por un nuevo paradigma inconmensurable con el primero. Los enfoques respectivos de Popper y Kuhn son muy opuestos, y la polémica entre ambos autores desempeñó un papel significativo en la filosofía de la ciencia de la segunda mitad del siglo pasado. En este libro Carlos Ulises Moulines, uno de los filósofos de la ciencia más importantes de nuestro tiempo, ofrece al lector una apasionante aproximación a la vida y el pensamiento de los dos gigantes de la disciplina.

Book excerpt: Este cuadernillo ofrece una introducción a la filosofía de la ciencia de Karl Popper y Thomas Kuhn. Popper mantiene que se aprende de los errores, la ciencia progresa precisamente por estar basada en el método de ensayo y error y propone un racionalismo crítico presentado bajo la fiabilidad y la provisionalidad, cuanta mayor claridad mantiene una teoría mayor capacidad tiene de ser falsada, al mismo tiempo que da más información sobre el mundo. Las teorías con mayor rango de falsabilidad son preferibles, siempre y cuando no hayan sido falsadas. Kuhn defiende el carácter revolucionario del conocimiento científico en el que interactúan factores internos y externos. El conocimiento, como actividad humana, representa una realidad que refleja las categorías de un momento histórico. Estas categorías se conforman dentro de una comunidad de especialistas, que perciben los datos de la experiencia a raíz de conceptos previos. Por tanto, para descubrir la génesis de las teorías es necesario estudiar el "contexto del descubrimiento" donde se originan. Índice. Introducción. Popper. Biografía. Falsacionismo.

Book Synopsis Historical Epistemology of Ecological Economics by : Alberto Fragio
Download or read book Historical Epistemology of Ecological Economics written by Alberto Fragio and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-05 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume uses historical epistemology in order to address several topics in the history of economic thought, with special emphasis on ecological economics, environmental metaphors of scarcity, and mathematical ecology. Using the field of ecological economics as an anchor point, the author reflects on the styles of reasoning in economics with a view towards understanding the nature of disagreement that stems from a failure of communication between rival approaches in economics. A thorough inquiry into issues related to identity, coherence, pluralism, and reception, this volume will appeal to researchers and students interested in history of economic thought, ecological economics, and philosophy of the sciences.
Download or read book Karl Popper written by Friedel Weinert and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl R. Popper is widely regarded as one of the most influential 20th century philosophers. In this new biography, Weinert provides a comprehensive and accessible account of his life and work, also addressing Popper’s role as a public intellectual. Drawing on a wide range of sources and interviews with former colleagues and collaborators, he recounts not only the wide interest from the scientific community, but also the inspiration that politicians took from Popper’s work. The book surveys the vast and varied intellectual landscape of Popper's philosophical journey during his long career: from the natural and social sciences (physics, evolution, sociology) to political philosophy and the philosophy of mind. It pays significant attention to Popper’s critical method - i.e., the notion that ideas and institutions should be exposed to rigorous tests – the approach that led him to a fervent defence of objectivity, rationality and realism, against all forms of irrationalism, as well as a passionate advocacy of freedom, social justice and liberal democracy, against all forms of authoritarianism. The book brings Popper into focus as a modern Enlightenment philosopher.

This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the recent Sokal hoax--the publication of a prominent physicist's pseudo-article in a leading journal of cultural studies--the status of science moved sharply from debate to dispute. Is science objective, a disinterested reflection of reality, as Karl Popper and his followers believed? Or is it subjective, a social construction, as Thomas Kuhn and his students maintained? Into the fray comes "Mystery of Mysteries," an enlightening inquiry into the nature of science, using evolutionary theory as a case study. Michael Ruse begins with such colorful luminaries as Erasmus Darwin (grandfather of Charles) and Julian Huxley (brother of novelist Aldous and grandson of T. H. Huxley, "Darwin's bulldog" ) and ends with the work of the English game theorist Geoffrey Parker--a microevolutionist who made his mark studying the mating strategies of dung flies--and the American paleontologist Jack Sepkoski, whose computer-generated models reconstruct mass extinctions and other macro events in life's history. Along the way Ruse considers two great popularizers of evolution, Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, as well as two leaders in the field of evolutionary studies, Richard Lewontin and Edward O. Wilson, paying close attention to these figures' cultural commitments: Gould's transplanted Germanic idealism, Dawkins's male-dominated Oxbridge circle, Lewontin's Jewish background, and Wilson's southern childhood. Ruse explicates the role of metaphor and metavalues in evolutionary thought and draws significant conclusions about the cultural impregnation of science. Identifying strengths and weaknesses on both sides of the "science wars," he demonstrates that a resolution of the objective and subjective debate is nonetheless possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La controversia Popper-Kuhn señala, a nuestra manera de ver, dos concepciones de la ciencia complementarias y desde todo punto de vista útiles para entender el dinamismo de la investigación científica. Kuhn al mostrar los aspectos dogmáticos del científico que se contenta con solucionar "enigmas" dentro de un paradigma establecido, señala un hecho histórico innegable: el desarrollo de la ciencia ha estado marcado por grandes períodos de calma intelectual, poco críticos y bastante conservadores. Pero Popper al poner el énfasis en la crítica permanente como el distintivo del verdadero investigador, está apuntando al "deber ser de la investigación científica". El científico capaz de hacer avanzar la investigación no es el técnico, ni el ingeniero, sino aquel que se deja guiar por el espíritu filosófico, que es un espíritu de inquietud, de duda, y de permanente insatisfacción intelectual
