THE SELF CRITICISM OF SCIENCE- ALEXIS KARPOUZOS (كتاب)


The contemporary philosophy of science (epistemology)featuring K.Popper,T.Kuhn, I.Lakatos, P.Feyerabend,Hanson among others, has exercised a decisive critique to the dominant views of the positivist and neo-positivistmodel of knowledge and has in fact undermined itscredibility.The most important attacks on positivism arefocusing on its fundamental tenets presented below: Scientism, or the unity of scientific method. The positiv-ist methodology does not see any difference between thenatural and the social sciences. The adoption however, ofthe unity of the scientific method is accepted in tandemwith the notion of the predominant role of the naturalsciences, in which the social sciences see their model. The outcome is what we call scientism, that is the viewthat only the natural sciences can produce the semanticinterpretation of knowledge.
