Three Little Philosophers of Science

Tirinha de Corey Mohr.

Tira em seis quadros com legendas em caixas amarelas. Q1: um homem de óculos diante de uma casa de palha: “Once upon a time there were three little philosophers of science. The first philosopher, Rudolph Carnap, built his theory on the principle of verificationism.”. Q2: um lobo sopra a casa de palha pelos ares: “But then along came the big bad wolf, who blew his philosophy down because it couldn’t adequately demarcate between science and non-science.”. Q3: um homem de suéter vermelho diante de uma casa de madeira: “The second philosopher, Karl Popper, built his theory on the principle of falsification.”. Q4: o lobo derruba a casa de madeira: “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.”. Q5: um homem calvo de paletó diante de uma casa de tijolos: “The third philosopher, Thomas Kuhn, built his theory on a rigorous sociological account of working scientists.”. Q6: o lobo derruba a casa de tijolos e o homem ergue os punhos: “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.”; balão do homem: “God damnit, you are all misinterpreting me!”
