Q

100 % zekere kennis = axio(grond)matisch deductief systeem

  • Aristotales:
  • Rene Descartes:
  • B. Russel:
A

Uitvoering Aristoteles met syllogismen (premisse 1 en 2 geven een conclusie die waar is)
(bijv.: Alle mensen zijn sterfelijk, Socrates is een mens => Dus Socrates is sterfelijk)

Rene Descartes => methodische twijfel aan zintuigen
 Je kan niet twijfelen, omdat je twijfelt (Cogito ergo sum => Ik denk dus ben ik)
Alles wat vanuit zintuigen helder is (Clare et distincte) is waar, want God is goed en doet goed
zijn werk en dus heeft de mens goede zintuigen => Maar zijn deze axioma wel juist? (gelovig)

B. Russel => samenvoegen wiskunde en logica met één systeem van axioma
Boek: Principe Mathematica laat zien dat dit niet mogelijk is

Abductie/ IBE

A

inference to the best explanation
- Ch. Pierce
Het verleden kan niet altijd gereconstrueerd worden
Op basis van de best beschikbare informatie worden ideeën gevormd en aangepast.
De waarschijnlijkheidsgraad is hierdoor lager dan bovenstaande wetenschappen
Zo rationeel mogelijk toepassen van middelen.

Q

Demarcatie criteria

A
  1. Falsificeerbaarheid/ weerlegbaarheid theorie? (Popper)
  2. Bewijslast (burden of proof)
  3. Anekdotisch bewijs => kan wetenschappelijk worden weerlegd of onderbouwd
    (placebo effect)
  4. Consistent met andere wetenschappen
  5. Empirisch (logisch en herhaalbaar) positief bewijs
  6. Intersubjectief
    Niet op esoterische kennis beroepen  iedereen moet het kunnen ervaren of kunnen
    waarnemen. En hetgeen moet begrijpelijk zijn voor iedereen = helder taalgebruik
  7. Scheermes van Ockham => Iets verklaren met zo min mogelijk begrippen
  8. Een theorie moet voorspelbaar zijn
  9. Vreemd is niet gelijk aan paranormaal

Q

Paradigma

A

Normal science (algemene acceptatie theorie  dan binnen theorie puzzle solving)
Echter op een gegeven moment past iets niet in een theorie = Anomalie
 Ad hoc hypothese om theorie te redden
Echter als anomalieën toenemen dan wordt theorie verworpen of aangepast
Komst van nieuw paradigma met komst heliocentrisch wereldbeeld (Copernicus (&en Kepler)

Paradigmashift => scientific revolution

Q

Paul Feyerabend

A

Wetenschappelijk anarchist
- anything goes
- Er zijn heel veel manieren om de wereld te leren kennen/ verklaren naast wetenschap.
Maar je moet wel binnen paradigma blijven. Men kan niet beoordelen welk paradigma beter is. Het is niet
mogelijk een betere methode toe te passen. Er is geen objectieve maatstaf.

Latour

A

Q

Lakatos

A
  • Probeert popper te verdegigen
  • Wetenschappers zijn individuen die liever geen kritiek willen op hun theorie.
    Dus daarom niet wetenschap als iets individueels zien, maar als geheel.
