  • Testing Political Philosophies

    Open AccessMario BungeARTICLEPhilosophy of the Social Sciences2019References: 2

    The purposes of the present article are to note the paucity of tests in the politological literature and to advance the thesis that some social movements have unwittingly supported certain political philosophies, whereas others have undermined them. For example, recent trends in longevity statistics favor free and universal health care policies while undermining the private health care ones. Likewise, economic statistics can be used to test the v…

  • Critical Approaches to Science & Philosophy with a new introduction

    Mario BungeBOOKCritical Approaches to Science…2018

    This collection of essays, written on four continents by scientists, philosophers and humanists, was initially presented to Karl R. Popper on his sixtieth birthday as a token of critical admiration and in recognition of his work. But the volume also stands on its own as a remarkable series of statements utilizing Popper's critical vision in the study of philosophy proper, logic, mathematics, science as method and theory, and finally to the study …

  • Then I Was Black

    Mario BungeBOOKThen I Was Black2017

    Do race and ethnicity present a danger to the consolidation of effective democratic government? Can liberal constitutionalism provide a stable basis for governance of a polity historically erected on racial and ethnic division? In this book Courtney Jung argues that when ethnic and racial identities are politically fluid and heterogeneous, as she finds they are in South Africa, ethnic and racial politics will not undermine the peaceful and democr…

  • Political Philosophy

    Mario BungeBOOKPolitical Philosophy2017

    Political philosophy is not a well-defined field. It hovers between political theory and classical philosophy. Few early political thinkers could have anticipated the most pressing political issues of our time: the need to stop global warming; the reduction of nuclear armaments; the rise of inequality between individuals and nations; and the struggle against authoritarianism, particularly when it comes disguised as democracy or as socialism. Here…

  • The Sociology-Philosophy Connection

    Mario Bunge, Rubén Ardila et al.BOOKSociology-Philosophy Connection2017Cited by: 14

    Most social scientists and philosophers claim that sociology and philosophy are disjoint fields of inquiry. Some have wondered how to trace the precise boundary between them. Mario Bunge argues that the two fields are so entangled with one another that no demarcation is possible or, indeed, desirable. In fact, sociological research has demonstrably philosophical pre-suppositions. In turn, some findings of sociology are bound to correct or enrich …

    Le physicien et philosophe Mario Bunge a attendu 2015 et sa 96e année pour rédiger ses mémoires. C’est dire si la fresque qu’il nous propose ici est riche en idées, en événements (emprisonnement, exil, échecs et succès, honneurs et adversité), en prises de position, en troubles de l’Histoire, en jaillissements de savoirs, en ferments pour un matérialisme du XXIe siècle. L’« entre deux mondes » que le titre évoque se comprend de multiples façons. …

  • The correspondence theory of truth

    Open AccessMario BungeARTICLESemiotica2012

    Two concepts of truth as correspondence of ideas with facts are analyzed. One of them is the thought-external fact relation, and the other is the fact-proposition one. The two maps are then composed, and the resulting map is assumed to formalize the concept of truth as adequacy or correspondence of ideas to facts. Besides, some desiderata for a correspondence theory of partial truth are proposed. Finally, the truth criteria employed in science an…

  • Political Philosophy

    Mario Bunge

    This book is about politics, political theory, and political philosophy. Although these disciplines are often conflated because they interact, they actually are distinct. Political theory is part of political science, whereas political philosophy is a hybrid of political theory and philosophy. The former discipline is descriptive and explanatory, whereas the latter is prescriptive - to the point that it is often called normative theory. It is in …

Organized by internationally recognized philosopher of science Mario Bunge, this indispensable volume, directed to general and university audiences, elucidates and evaluates many contemporary philosophical ideas in a naturalistic, rationalist, empiricist, a…
