• Plato• Ideal forms • The supremacy of
reason• Foundations of
western rationalism (Descartes, Rousseau, Marx and others)
• tenacious in Western culture — especially for those who have spent considerable time throughout their education improving their powers of reason
• Influence on social and political thought
• Aristotle• Observation, enumeration and
categorisation• The supremacy of evidence• Foundations of western
empiricism (Locke, Mill and Berkeley)
• dominant in Britain were the trade guilds and the professions in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The entrants to these trades were not generally the product of a classical education system and their expertise relied on the transfer of skills by word of mouth — master to apprentice.
• Influence on science and technology
– Darwin– Newton

• Naïve induction (Bacon, Darwin, Newton)– Knowledge is created by repeated observation
and the inference of general conclusions.
• Logical positivism (the Vienna Circle, Sir Alfred Ayer)
• Methodological Falsificationism• The neo-empiricists (Fayerabend, Lakatos,
Kuhn, Hansen)

The n
eo-e
mpiricists
• Facts are not neutral but are laden with our theories
• We can conceive of two ways of understanding the world: conceptual (theoretical) and empirical (factual)
• Science (knowledge) progresses and is focused not of the creation of theories but on paradigms (Kuhn), Research Programmes (Lakatos) or networks of models (Hesse)
