[escepticos] Huellas humans antiguas : teoria alternativa

[J. Pino]

Permíteme que ponga nada más el abstract de un artículo de Ruse en la
revista Philosphy of Science (1977: "Karl Popper's Philosophy of Biology"):

"In recent years Sir Karl Popper has been turning his attention more and
more towards philosophical problems arising from biology, particularly
evolutionary
biology. Popper suggests that perhaps neo-Darwinian evolutionary
theory is better categorized as a metaphysical research program than as
a scientific theory. In this paper it is argued that Popper can draw his
conclusions only because **he is abysmally ignorant of the current status of
biological thought** and that Popper's criticisms of biology are without
force
and his suggestions for its improvement are without need. Also it is
suggested
that **Popper's desire to see scientific theory growth as being in some
sense
evolutionary may have led him astray about biology**. And conversely it is
suggested that since his claims about biology are not well taken his
analysis
of theory growth may well bear reexamination."

Lo enfatizado es mío. Un año después de éste y otros varapalos se retracta,
sui generis, como sabemos.

Saludos,

J. Pino
