Introduction

first 2011-11-02

Philosophy of science covers a broad spectrum of interesting subjects. On this website just a few specific themes are covered that interested me most.

• The turn from logic positivism to critical rationalism

• Karl Popper reviewed

  • Demarcation and Theory selection criteria
    

• The realism debate

 

• Boundaries of knowledge

 

Various views

Phenomenology emphasizes that any view on the world and that includes views on abstract worlds such as science always is bounded by the position, situation and foreknowledge of the agent who considers that world. In the philosophy of science this is compatible with the concept of paradigm and paradigm changes as introduced by [Kuhn 1962:10] and quite geneneral accepted.
In a different form we see this concept also in certain aspects of quantummechhanics as to be discussed in the realism debate
