Popper preincarnated
All knowledge is conjectural
Presocratics make a come back Still, the best part is how this era of thought fits into modern science.
The Presocratics -- the roots of rationality "Beyond the Search for Invariants" is the centerpiece of this book, an absolutely brilliant 65-page essay tracing the influence of Parmenides on modern science.You may have heard the quote from Alfred North Whitehead -- "The medieval world was an age of faith based on reason, while the modern world is an age of reason based on faith." (Science and the Modern World, 1925)Popper makes a convincing case that the metaphysical assumption underpinning modern science is much older than Christianity.Heraclitus said "you can never step in the same river twice."His was a metaphysics of constant flux.Parmenides, on the other hand, logically deduced that the world is a motionless block!A motionless block universe.It sounds absurd, but what Popper shows is that this metaphysical assumption has influenced great minds ever since, giving rise to the view that the universe is closed, and entirely deterministic.Only recently, with Darwin and Einstein, has Laplacean determinism given way to an open, indeterministic universe.Popper summarizes the essay like this in his 1993 preface -- "It tries to show that Heraclitus (everything changes) and Parmenides (nothing changes) have been reconciled and combined in modern science, which looks for Parmenidean invariance within Heraclitean flux." (viii) You might conclude that Popper is harshly judging Parmenides.On the contrary, he praises him as a great rationalist -- he simply disagrees with a powerful idea of Parmenides.There are 9 other essays here, and they are not all equally compelling, but the best are among the best of anything I've read in the philosophy of science! ...
