Casacuberta & Estany se unen al grupo ruso-español, entrevistan a su líder, analizan las prácticas de arbitraje asociadas a la competición. Su estudio es el de una nueva organización biológica, cuya fuente inteligente es la mente de una sola persona. La adecuación causal entre las mutaciones mutadoras y las mutaciones en genes tumorales sugiere una razón para considerar el diseño como una buena explicación.

Using Goethe's criticism of both the objective (Newtonian) and subjective (as in the works of Schopenhauer) treatment of colour phenomena the author aims to give a criticism of both. While doing so he compares two such criticisms, one by a recent writer (Evan Thompson 1995. Colour Vision. A Study in Cognitive Science and the Philosophy of Perception), one by a turn of the century interpreter of Goethe (Rudolf Steiner, editor of the Weimar edition of Goethe's scientific writings). The aim is to investigate and compare these criticisms, two solutions for a relationist science of colours.

In his "New Theory" he did not demonstrate strong immutability -thus leaving modificationism still defensible. The early development of Newton's view on colours is reconstructed, including the 1672 "New Theory".

Research paper thumbnail of The development of the Neurath principle: unearthing the Romantic link

Studies In History and Philosophy of Science Part A, Jan 1, 2006

ABSTRACT Otto Neurath’s thoroughgoing anti-foundationalism is connected to the recognition that p... more ABSTRACT Otto Neurath’s thoroughgoing anti-foundationalism is connected to the recognition that protocol sentences are not inviolable, that is they are fallible and their choice cannot be determined: ‘Poincaré, Duhem and others have adequately shown that even if we have agreed on the protocol statements, there is a not limited number of equally applicable, possible systems of hypotheses. We have extended this tenet of the uncertainty of systems of hypotheses to all statements, including protocol statements that are alterable in principle’ (Neurath, 1983, p. 105). Later historiography has called Neurath’s extension of Duhemian holism the Neurath principle. Based on a study of Neurath’s early works on the history of optics, the paper investigates a previously unnoticed influence on the development of this principle, Neurath’s reading of Goethe’s Theory of colours. The historical and polemical parts of Goethe’s tripartite book provided Neurath with ideal examples for the vertical extension of Duhem’s thesis to observation statements. Moreover, Goethe’s critique of the language of science and his views on the theory-ladenness of observation, as well as on the history of science show strong parallels to many of Neurath’s ideas. These demonstrate the existence of surprisingly direct textual links between Romantic views on science and the development of twentieth-century philosophy of science. Neurath’s usage of Goethe’s examples also indicates that the birth of the Neurath principle is more tightly connected to actual scientific practice than to theory-testing, and that by admitting the theory-ladenness of observation reports and fallibility of protocol statements Neurath does not throw empiricism overboard.
