Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by the philosopher A.J. Ayer as a work of 'great originality and power', this book revolutionized contemporary thinking on science and knowledge. Ideas such as the now legendary doctrine of 'falsificationism' electrified the scientific community, influencing even working scientists, as well as post-war philosophy. This astonishing work ranks alongside The Open Society and Its Enemies as one of Popper's most enduring books and contains insights and arguments that demand to be read to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conjectures and Refutations is one of Karl Popper's most wide-ranging and popular works, notable not only for its acute insight into the way scientific knowledge grows, but also for applying those insights to politics and to history. It provides one of the clearest and most accessible statements of the fundamental idea that guided his work: not only our knowledge, but our aims and our standards, grow through an unending process of trial and error.

Download or read book The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge written by Karl Popper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie – The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge – as ‘...a child of crises, above all of ...the crisis of physics.’ Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology and twentieth century philosophy generally. The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science. Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability, arguing that the inferences made in science are not inductive but deductive; science does not start with observations and proceed to generalise them but with problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures. The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in Karl Popper, in the history and philosophy of science, and in the methods and theories of science itself.

Book excerpt: English summary: This work, which many regard as Karl Popper's most important for the scientific world, is being published in a new edition as part of the Collected Works. In Popper's opinion, it is a mistake to consider scientific knowledge to be certain knowledge. He maintains that, on the contrary, scientific knowledge consists of bold speculations and of strictly examined but in reality provisional conjectures. German description: Karl Popper stellt in seinem Hauptwerk, der Logik der Forschung, die Erkenntnistheorie als Methodologie dar, die erklart, warum unser Wissen fehlbar ist und warum wir nicht primar aus erfullten, sondern aus gescheiterten Erwartungen lernen: Der Erkenntnisfortschritt resultiert aus Versuch und Irrtum. Die bedeutendsten Resultate des Buches sind das Falsifizierbarkeitskriterium zur Abgrenzung wissenschaftlicher Satze und Poppers Vorschlag zur Losung des Problems der empirischen Basis der Wissenschaft. Sein Abgrenzungskriterium loste das neopositivistische Sinnkriterium ab, nach dem nicht verifizierbare Satze sinnlos sind, und seine These, auch Beobachtungssatze seien, wegen der Transzendenz dessen, was sie darstellen, uber das, was wahrgenommen wurde, fehlbare Hypothesen, beendete die Protokollsatzdebatte im Wiener Kreis. Mit der Verallgemeinerung der Idee der Prufbarkeit zur Idee der Kritik entstand aus dem Neoempirismus der kritischen Rationalismus.[...] gehort Poppers Buch zu den wichtigsten gegenwartigen Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Wissenschaftslogik. [...] Es wird Zustimmung und Widerspruch auslosen...Rudolf Carnap in Erkenntnis, Bd. 5 (1935), S. 294Nach der Kreativitat in der Wissenschaft zu fragen, setzt voraus, dass wir wissen, was eine wissenschaftliche Entdeckung ist. Dies bedeutet aber wiederum, die Logik der wissenschaftlichen Entdeckung zu erfassen. [...] Poppers Prinzip ist damit die Basis aller Wissenschaft. Wer es nicht anwendet, scheitert. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Fernausgabe vom 24.12.1974Mir gefallt das ganze modische 'positivistische' Kleben am Beobachtbaren nicht. Ich halte es fur trivial, dass man auf atomistischem Gebiete nicht beliebig genau prognostizieren kann, und denke, dass Theorie nicht aus Beobachtungsresultaten fabriziert, sondern nur erfunden werden kann (wie Sie ubrigens auch).Albert Einstein, Brief vom 11.9.1935 an K.R.P., abgedruckt in: Popper, Logik der Forschung, 2. u. folgende Auflagen, S. 412 ff.

Download or read book Logic of Discovery or Psychology of Research Logik oder Psychologie der Forschung Englisch Deutsch written by Thomas S. Kuhn and published by Reclam Verlag. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuhns Monographie ›Die Struktur wissenschaftlicher Revolutionen‹ von 1962 ist ein Klassiker der Wissenschaftstheorie. Der dort erstmals von Kuhn definierte Begriff des "Paradigmenwechsels" hat weit über die Philosophie hinaus Karriere gemacht und wurde kontrovers diskutiert. In scharfer Abgrenzung zu Popper beschreibt Kuhn in seinem Aufsatz ›Logic of Discovery‹ die Geschichte der Wissenschaft nicht als stetigen Fortschritt, sondern als geprägt von Umbrüchen: Auf eine Phase der "Normalwissenschaft" folgt eine Krise. Das gemeinsam vereinbarte Paradigma wird angezweifelt und schließlich in einer wissenschaftlichen Revolution durch ein neues ersetzt. Der Band bietet den Originaltext, eine neue Übersetzung sowie einen Kommentar, der den Argumentationsgang und seine Weiterentwicklung rekonstruiert und die Rolle verdeutlicht, die Kuhns Text bis heute spielt. E-Book mit Seitenzählung der gedruckten Ausgabe: Buch und E-Book können parallel benutzt werden.
Download or read book Realism and the Aim of Science written by Karl Popper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Realism and the Aim of Science is one of the three volumes of Karl Popper’s Postscript to the Logic of scientific Discovery. The Postscript is the culmination of Popper’s work in the philosophy of physics and a new famous attack on subjectivist approaches to philosophy of science. Realism and the Aim of Science is the first volume of the Postcript. Popper here formulates and explains his non-justificationist theory of knowledge: science aims at true explanatory theories, yet it can never prove, or justify, any theory to be true, not even if is a true theory. Science must continue to question and criticise all its theories, even those that happen to be true. Realism and the Aim of Science presents Popper’s mature statement on scientific knowledge and offers important insights into his thinking on problems of method within science.

Book excerpt: This book offers a careful re-reading of Popper's classic falsificationist demarcation of science, stressing its institutional aspects. Popper's social thinking about science, individuals, institutions, and rationality is tracked through The Poverty of Historicism and The Open Society and Its Enemies as he criticises and improves his earlier work. New links are established between the works of the 1935-1945 period, revealing them as a source for criticism of the institutions and governance of science.
Download or read book Grete Hermann Between Physics and Philosophy written by Elise Crull and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grete Hermann (1901-1984) was a pupil of mathematical physicist Emmy Noether, follower and co-worker of neo-Kantian philosopher Leonard Nelson, and an important intellectual figure in post-war German social democracy. She is best known for her work on the philosophy of modern physics in the 1930s, some of which emerged from intense discussions with Heisenberg and Weizsäcker in Leipzig. Hermann’s aim was to counter the threat to the Kantian notion of causality coming from quantum mechanics. She also discussed in depth the question of ‘hidden variables’ (including the first critique of von Neumann’s alleged impossibility proof) and provided an extensive analysis of Bohr’s notion of complementarity. This volume includes translations of Hermann’s two most important essays on this topic: one hitherto unpublished and one translated here into English for the first time. It also brings together recent scholarly contributions by historians and philosophers of science, physicists, and philosophers and educators following in Hermann’s steps. Hermann's work places her in the first rank among philosophers who wrote about modern physics in the first half of the last century. Those interested in the many fields to which she contributed will find here a comprehensive discussion of her philosophy of physics that places it in the context of her wider work.
