Three Little Philosophers of Science

"Once upon a time there were three little philosophers of science. The first philosopher, Rudolph Carnap, built his theory on the principle of verificationism." "But then along came the big bad wolf, who blew his philosophy down because it couldn't adequately demarcate between science and non-science." "The second philosopher, Karl Popper, built his theory on the principle of falsification." "Then along came the big bad wolf, who blew his philosophy down because no actual scientific theory ever has an exact set of falsifiable criteria." "The third philosopher, Thomas Kuhn, built his theory on a rigorous sociological account of working scientists." "Then along came the big bad wolf, and he blew that theory down too, because it descended into relativism. It turns out that philosophy of science is hard." Thomas Kuhn, shouting: "God damnit, you are all misinterpreting me! "
Kuhn: "is my theory crumbling because I am forced to make an increasing number of ad hoc adjusts, exactly how I described scientific theories crumble before a paradigm shift? No, it's the kids who are wrong."
