Popper's notion of falsifiability gets at the heart of what I find objectionable in a lot of postmodernist history (e.g. Foucault, Siam Mapped) which might well end up in the dustbin of history like these horn-rimmed glasses neo-positivists.Jon Fernquesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974424595128404537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058766287077382431.post-53512198483205141272009-09-29T18:14:11.938-04:002009-09-29T18:14:11.938-04:00Another 'off-shoot' of neo-positivism that...Another 'off-shoot' of neo-positivism that might be noted is the sort of skeptical view that denies not only many of the terms of social scientific practice, but also even the sort of assumptions (i.e. - rationality, etc.) promoted by neo-positivists. I have in mind the position of someone like Stephen Turner, who would like social scientific work to be done solely in terms of the behaviors or habits of individuals. I take Turner to be more compelling than neo-positivists, because Turner's arguments work just as well against neo-positivists as they do against regular social scientists.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975959479383090484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058766287077382431.post-17478957974294457092009-09-27T22:15:01.717-04:002009-09-27T22:15:01.717-04:00Reminds me of Peter Turchin and his Cliodynamics:
...Reminds me of Peter Turchin and his Cliodynamics:<br /><br />http://cliodynamics.info/<br /><br />His simplified mathematical models based on ecology are inspiring but not really that convincing, at least for me. <br /><br />The value seems to lie in the concise and clear statement of a feedback mechanism in the model that explains patterns of hsitorical events but not rigorously through math which requires loads of accurate data.Jon Fernquesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974424595128404537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058766287077382431.post-90995583422269298172009-09-27T21:18:02.346-04:002009-09-27T21:18:02.346-04:00Yea, Rudner was all the rage at Wash U in the mid ...Yea, Rudner was all the rage at Wash U in the mid 70s when I came there to study Sociology.
