For and Against Method by 7036121|Imre Lakatos book cover

πŸ“˜ For and Against Method

"Imre e io eravamo diversi nell'aspetto, nel carattere e nelle aspirazioni, tuttavia eravamo veramente grandi amici. Mi sentii devastato e furioso quando seppi che Imre era morto". Così Paul Feyerabend, dadaista, anarchico e libertario appassionato, ha ricordato Lakatos:"Quest'individuo eccessivo, sensibile, implacabile, autoironico e così umano". Le lezioni e le lettere qui riportate rappresentano la testimonianza di un confronto intellettuale tra i più significativi della Filosofia della scienza del Novecento. Schierati apparentemente su fronti opposti, Lakatos e Feyerabend - uno per il metodo e l'altro contro - potrebbero persino formare, al cospetto del loro Creatore, "una sola persona", come capita nel finale dei "Teologi" di Borges. Del resto, l'origine teologica dei criteri di razionalità scientifica è il punto di partenza che porta Lakatos e Feyerabend dalle questioni dell'impresa scientifica agli interrogativi filosofici di fondo, passando attraverso politica e diritto, società libera e tolleranza, individualismo e antiautoritarismo. Le lezioni di Lakatos costituiscono anche un'introduzione ai problemi della filosofia della scienza perfettamente accessibile al non specialista; mentre le tesi di Feyerabend e lo scambio epistolare rivelano come il gusto per l'indagine spregiudicata rappresenti il miglior antidoto al conformismo degli accademici e dei politici di professione.

Objective Knowledge by 6724044|Karl Popper book cover

πŸ“˜ Objective Knowledge

The essays in this volume represent an approach to human knowledge that has had a profound influence on many recent thinkers. Popper breaks with a traditional commonsense theory of knowledge that can be traced back to Aristotle. A realist and fallibilist, he argues closely and in simple language that scientific knowledge, once stated in human language, is no longer part of ourselves but a separate entity that grows through critical selection.
