Woodger was "a British theoretical biologist and philosopher of biology whose attempts to make biological sciences more rigorous and empirical was significantly influential to the philoso…phy of biology in the twentieth century. Karl Popper, the prominent philosopher of science [Popper is a contributor to this volume], claimed 'Woodger . . . influenced and stimulated the evolution of the philosophy of science in Britain and in the United States as hardly anybody else' . . . . He was a member of the Theoretical Biology Club along with Joseph Needham, Conrad Hal [C. H.] Waddington, John Desmond Bernal, and Dorothy Wrinch. Karl Popper described the club as 'one of the most interesting study circles in the field of the philosophy of science' ".

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Men of science are sometimes mistrustful of or at least impatient with philosophy. One of them, himself no stranger to hard thought, was one day heard to comment on his colleagues in another faculty and on their propensity to indulge in what he cal…led 'all this nonsense about thinking'. Against this may perhaps be set a meeting of philosophers who decided to discuss the Second Law of Thermodynamics. When asked sardonically by a scientist whether they had disproved it, one of the philosophers replied: 'No, we have concluded that it is not so much false as meaning less' . This curious appearance of cross purposes reflects something more than mere captiousness or misunderstanding. As to the 'nonsense about thinking', it is perfectly true that an excessive formalisation of argu ments does not usually assist clear thinking very much. Plenty of people would be nonplussed by a formal logical exercise of the type: all A is B, Cis B: is C therefore A But equate A to Frenchman, C to Germans and B to Europeans, and tht:y would never run the slightest risk of going astray.
