Sinossi
Ai filosofi che hanno fatto una virtù del parlar con se stessi, ai monologhi che passano per filosofia, ai rituali magici dei tecnicismi logici che caratterizzano "quest'età postrazionalistica", Popper oppone il concetto di una scienza come cosmologia, e di una filosofia come metodo critico che tenta di comprendere "noi stessi e la conoscenza, in quanto parte del mondo". Ma la scienza a cui fa appello Popper non è "un sistema di asserzioni certe o stabilite una volta per tutte", bensì un insieme di tentativi, "di ipotesi azzardate, di anticipazioni affrettate e premature, di pregiudizi", che l'uomo tenta di cogliere in fallo cercando di farli collidere con la realtà, mediante l'osservazione e l'esperimento. E la scienza si differenzia dalla metafisica che pretende di fornirci un quadro coerente e definitivo del mondo - perché le sue asserzioni sono in linea di principio falsificabili; perché tende a falsificarle con tutte le armi del suo arsenale logico, matematico e tecnico.

We do not know: we can only guess. Karl Popper first wrote Logik der Forchung (The Logic of Research) in 1934. This original version—published in haste to secure an academic position and escape the threat of Nazism (Popper was of Jewish descent)—was heavily condensed at the publisher’s request; a Leggi tutto
If it was 400 pages shorter, I'd give it 5 stars. Popper makes his point quickly and emphatically on the merits of deductive reasoning versus inductive and its use in scientific research. Unfortunately, he continues to give examples to reiterate his point. Reading the first 50 pages is good enough.

Mágikus erővel bír ez a könyv: bármilyen fitten is kezdtem bele, három mondat után azon kaptam magam, hogy ásítok. A hátsó borítóra ugyan ráírta valaki, hogy "a művelt nagyközönségnek is izgalmas és élvezhető olvasmány", de vagy nagyon el akarta adni a kötetet, vagy végzetesen máshogy definiáljuk a Leggi tutto
Strictly to be confined within the realms of the scientific disciplines. But as far as other realms of human activity are concerned, the methodology espoused here is to be taken in caution.
If only I was clever enough to understand anything...
I studied this while in grad school. My thesis, which never got much beyond the notes stage, used Popper and other epistemologies to examine the difference between "natural" sciences and "social" sciences. The basic hypothesis was that the latter rested on "essentially contested" propositions. For e Leggi tutto
His reputation preceding him, with a pretty good idea of what the main arguments of the book are, it is a daunting task to read Popper in the original. But it soon becomes clear that there is enough value, ingenuity and originality in "The Logic" to merit reading the original book in lieu of, or in
Popper enjoys a reputation as the greatest philosopher of the 20th Century. This book, in which he elucidated the doctrine of falsification still espoused by prominent scientific commentators like Richard Dawkins and endorsed by most scientists, went a long way to establishing that reputation.
