A Comparison between Homeopathy and the Foundations of Contemporary Scientific Theories
The present paper analyses the epistemological status of the theory of homeopathy in the framework of the main scientific theories of its time. First of all, Hahnemann underlined its experimental nature in opposition to an abstract, rationalist medicines suggested by some his contemporaries. Moreover, recent studies on the foundations of logic enabled to recognize in the original texts of some non-Newtonian scientific theories of Hahnemann’s time…
Challenging the Double-Negation Principle
To study a subject similarly represented in Eastern and Western cultures, I examine some classical theories of war strategy according to a new analytical method. This method is based on the recognition that the most important strategic theories are organized as theories essentially not deduced from axioms according to classical logic. Such theories reason through doubly negated propositions (DNPs), whose meanings differ from those of their affirm…
A New History of Logic
The paper starts by remarking that the ancient Greek word for “truth” was “alétheia” (unveiling), which is a double negation. But, after Plato the affirmative meaning of the idea of truth has prevailed. The same meaning was reiterated by Romans’s word for truth, veritas. Not before the year 1968 the double negation law was re-evaluated, since its failure was recognized as representing, more appropriately than the failure of the excluded middle la…
From the two Notions of Paradigm and Reduction between Theories to a New Multilinear History of Physics
In last century, the historians of physics improved their historical accounts till up to obtain be interpretative accounts. The two main interpretative accounts have posed fundamental problems. Koyré: whether in theoretical physics mathematics is also idealistic in nature; Kuhn: whether and how the notions of paradigm, anomaly, crisis, scientific revolution and incommensurability are essential for a deep understanding of the history of physics. F…
