Today's (Tuesday) Guardian has a full page 'Analysis' on
Scientific Truth. This is the first time I've seen anything
like it in a British newspaper(*)
It would make a good piece for 1st year sociologists and/or
philosophers of science to pull apart - hence this posting.
As an example of its woeful inadequacies three of its four
references are E.O. Wilson, Lewis Wolpert and Richard Dawkins.
cheers,
Jon
PS: this is not an attempt to start a discussion, more a hopefully
timely message for those interested.
PPS and (*): The Sun *did* once have an editorial on Wittgenstein
in the late 1980s. No, I am not joking.
