political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Karl Popper - Popper's philosophy

Karl Popper - Philosophy of Science. Popper coined the term critical rationalism to describe his philosophy. This designation is significant, and indicates his rejection of classical empiricism, and of the observationalist-inductivist account of science that had grown out of it. Popper argued strongly against the latter, holding that scientific theories are universal in nature, and can be tested only indirectly, by references to their implications. He also held that scientific theory, and human knowledge g ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Karl Popper - Life

Born in Vienna (then Austria-Hungary) in 1902 to middle-class parents of Jewish origins, Karl Popper was educated at the University of Vienna. He took a Ph.D. in philosophy in 1928, and taught in secondary school from 1930 to 1936. In 1934 he published his first book, Logik der Forschung (The Logic of Scientific Discovery), in which he criticized psychologism, naturalism, inductionism, and logical positivism, and put forth his theory of potential falsifiability being the criterion for what should be considered science. In 1937, ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Karl Korsch - Philosophy

Korsch was especially concerned that Marxist theory was losing its precision and validity - in the words of the day, becoming "vulgarized" - within the upper echelons of the various socialist organizations. His masterwork, Marxism and Philosophy is an attempt to re-establish the historic character of Marxism as the heir to Hegel. It commences with a quote from Lenin's On the Significance of Militant Materialism: "We must organize a systematic study of the Hegelian ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Leo Strauss - Philosophy

Strauss called his field Political Philosophy. But for him political philosophy and philosophy were necessarily intertwined at their roots. Like many philosophers since the second world war, he did not believe in trying to distinguish facts and values in philosophy and he was against positivism. Strauss made the distinction between "scholars" and "philosophers" and called himself a scholar, not a philosopher. He wrote that today, most who call themselves philosophers are, at best, mere scholars. Scholars are cautious and methodic; not ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Karl Popper - Influence

By all accounts, Popper has played a vital role in establishing the philosophy of science as a vigorous, autonomous discipline within analytic philosophy, through his own prolific and influential works, and also through his influence on his own contemporaries and students -- chief among them, Imre Lakatos and Paul Feyerabend, two of the foremost philosophers of science in the next generation of analytic philosophy. (Lakatos's work drastically modifies Popper's position, and Feyerabend's repudiates it entirely, but the work of both is deeply influenced by Popper and engaged wi ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Karl Popper - Critics

The Quine-Duhem thesis argues that it is impossible to test a single hypothesis on its own, since each one comes as part of an environment of theories. Thus we can only say that the whole package of relevant theories has been collectively falsified, but cannot conclusively say which element of the package must be replaced. An example of this is given by the discovery of the planet Neptune: when the motion of Uranus was found not to match the predictions of Newton's laws, the theory "There are seven planets in the solar system" was rejected, ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Realism - Realism in visual arts and literature

Main article: Realism (arts) In literature and the visual arts, realism is a mid-19th century movement, which started in France. In response to growing positivism after the French Revolution and greater optimism that humans could understand the world through science, philosophy and the arts, the realists sought to render everyday characters, situations, dilemmas, and events in an "accurate" (or realistic) manner. This is in contrast with the earlier romanticism, in which subjects were treated idealistically. Realists tended to discard theatrical drama and cl ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Positivism - Law

Legal positivism is a view which, in contrast to the natural law view, claims that a legal system can be defined independently of evaluative terms or propositions. Sometimes legal positivism is understood as the view that laws must be obeyed, whatever their content. The late Carlos Nino called the former view "methodological" and the latter "ideological," claiming that only the former was philosophically defensible. Legal Positivism replaced the notion of Divine Law around the time of the Enlightenment. The theory is tha ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Realism - Realism in philosophy

Main article: philosophical realism Realism in philosophical thinking is the belief that properties, usually called Universals, exist independently of the things that manifest them. Thus a realist would hold that even if one were to destroy all of the manifestations of the color red the universal red would still exist. Competing views contrasted with realism, such as nominalism, hold that universals do not "exist" at all; they are no more than words used strictly to describe specific obj ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Capellan Confederation - Military

The Military of the Capellan Confederation is known as the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces or the CCAF. Though it is small and often underequipped the CCAF is actually amongst the most powerful of militaries in a one on one encounter. The Capellan military is unique in that it places more power in the hands of the commander at the Regiment level and less at higher levels than do most other militaries. Capellan units are often named after their commander, for example the first regiment of the Victoria Commanality Rangers is known as Kings ...

See main article : Disciples of Confucius Confucius' philosophical school was first continued by his direct disciples and by his only grandson, Zisi. Mencius and Xun Zi are his two great followers, one on each "side" of his philosophy, perhaps simply described as optimism and pessimism.

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - David Stove - Polemics against Popper and other 'irrationalists'

Stove became best known to the wider intellectual community for his attacks on Karl Popper and his falsificationist philosophy of science, as well as the influential philosophies of Thomas Kuhn and Paul Feyerabend. His book Popper and After: Four Modern Irrationalists (1982) has been reprinted in two new editions in recent years. In it Stove claimed to expose the methods by which Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos and Feyeraband managed to make their philosophies seem respectable. One such method was, Stove claimed, the "neutralizing of suc ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Pluralism - Pluralism in politics

In democratic politics, pluralism is a guiding principle which permits the peaceful coexistence of different interests, convictions and lifestyles. Unlike totalitarianism or particularism, pluralism acknowledges the diversity of interests and considers it legitimate for members of society to work for their realization, to represent them and to articulate them in a process of conflict and dialogue. In political philosophy, those who embrace pluralism are often described as liberals, while those who take up a more critical attitude towards the diversity o ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Positivism - Literature

In Poland, the period in literature after the January 1863 Uprising until the turn of the 20th century is known as the Positivist period. Famous Polish Positivist writers included (some, for part of their careers): Adam Asnyk (1838-1897) Eliza Orzeszkowa (1841-1910) Bolesław Prus (1847-1912) Maria Konopnicka (1842-1910) Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) Gabriela Zapolska (1857-1921) Stefan Żeromski (1864-1925) More broadly, Positivism was a major social ideology of Poland in that period and helped stimulate a growing interest in scie ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Karl Korsch - Political development

Korsch studied in London between 1912 and 1914, becoming a member of the Fabian Society there. At this time he also married the person who would have lifelong involvement in his theoretical work, Hedda Gagliardi. Korsch's wartime experiences in Germany radicalised him, especially the ferment within the leftwing parties of Germany following the Russian Revolution. Uprisings such as that of the Spartacists in Berlin in January 1919, and the Bavarian Soviet Republic in April 1919, made revolution seem imminent to many in Europe. Korsch focused ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Mike Ditka - Player

After an All-American senior season at the University of Pittsburgh in 1960, Ditka was drafted to play tight end by the Bears. His presence was immediately felt. In his first season, Ditka had 56 receptions, introducing a new dimension to a tight end position that had previously been dedicated to blocking. His success earned him NFL Rookie of the Year honors. He continued to play for the Bears for the next five years, earning a Pro Bowl trip each season. He played on the 1963 NFL championship team. Many of the players from that team, includi ...

Retiring after the 1972 season, Ditka was immediately hired as an assistant coach by Cowboys' head coach Tom Landry. Ditka spent nine seasons as an assistant coach with the Cowboys. During his tenure, the Cowboys made the playoffs eight times, won six division titles and three NFC Championships, including the one preceding their Super Bowl victory in 1977. In 1982, Chicago Bears founder George Halas personally sought out Ditka to take over the head coaching reins, and reverse what had been a mostly dreary performance by the team in th ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - David Stove - Life

David Stove was born on 15 September 1927, at Moree, New South Wales, a small Australian country town. He later lived in Newcastle, New South Wales before studying philosophy at the University of Sydney in the mid-to-late 1940's. Here, like many Australian philosophers of his generation, he came under the influence of Professor John Anderson (philosopher). He absorbed Anderson's realism but was later to shake off oth ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Communitarianism - Ideological communitarianism

Communitarianism - Communitarian philosophy. Beginning in the late 20th century, many authors began to observe a deterioration in the social networks of the United States. In the book Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam observed that nearly every form of civic organization has undergone drops in membership exemplified by the fact that, while more people are bowling than in the 1950's, there are fewer bowling leagues. This results in a decline in "social capital", described by Putnam as "the collect ...

political philosophy: Encyclopedia II - Communitarianism - Terminology

Though the term communitarianism is of 20th-century origin, it is derived from the 1840s term communitarian, which originally referred to one who was a member or advocate of a communalist society. The modern use of the term is a redefinition of the original sense. Many communitarians trace their philosophy to earlier thinkers. The term is primarily used in two senses: 1) Philosophical communitarianism considers classical liberalism to be ontologically and epistemologically incoherent, and opposes it on those groun ...
