Imre Lakatos on Seeing - Dictionary of Arguments
Hacking I 286 Seeing/Lakatos/Hacking: He has only one example: Galileo's observation of solar spots through a telescope: This could not have been pure seeing. >Method, cf. >Instrumentalism. >Observation sentence, >Observation, >Observation language, >Verification, >Falsification. Therefore: Observation/LakatosVsPopper: Falsificationism cannot be correct because it presupposes the distinction between theory and observation. The simple rule, according to which the human thinks and directs nature, is not tenable. Two wrong assumptions: 1. There would be a psychological boundary between speculative and observation-related sentences. 2. The assumption that observation statements could be proved by facts. HackingVsLakatos: these assumptions have now been mocked for 15 years, but Lakatos' argumentation is superficial._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
