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 - LifeBorn 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 - Leo Strauss - PhilosophyStrauss 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 - InfluenceBy 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 - CriticsThe 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 literatureMain 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 ...

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. They built upon and expanded his ethico-political system.

|  |  |  | 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 politicsIn 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 ...

He later lived in Newcastle, New South Wales before studying philosophy at the University of Sydney in the mid-to-late 1940's.

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 - TerminologyThough 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 ...
