1) Principles of Pseudoscience
a) Glymour & Stalker
b) 6 principles of pseudoscience (pg93-94)
b.i) A coincidence in hand is worth two in the bush.
b.ii) A purpose to everything and to everything a purpose.
b.iii) The taller the story, the harder it falls.
b.iv) Even physics isn’t all that precise.
b.v) Science is number and gauges.
b.vi) Saying no nit pickers.
c) This is Glymour & Stalkers answer to the demarcation problem. Principles of Pseudoscience and falsifiability are both attempts at solving the demarcation problem.
2) Unity-In-Diversity Paradox
a) Hannson
b) History of demarcation
b.i) Little agreement on criterion/criteria (diversity) Cannot agree on criteria do in three completely ways cannot agree on criteria that distinquishes cases.
b.ii) Wide agreement on specific cases (unity) Everyone agrees physicis is a science
c) Hannsons observation of the history of demarcation wide agreement unity but little agreement diversity. Popper and Kuhn agree that psychology is a psudeo science they cannot agree in the way it is.
3) Conventional Twist
a) Popper
b) Adhawk Adjustment failed them – Reinterprete or rethink to make their theory fit.
c) Pg108 – Yet instead of accepting the refutations the followers of Marx re-interpreted both the theory and evidence in order to make them agree. In this way they rescued the theory from refutation: but they did so at the price of adopting a device which made it irrefutable. They thus gave a “conventional twist” to the theory; and by this stratagem they destroyed its much advertised claim to scientific status.
4) Light Deflection
a) Eddington
b) 1919 experiment proved Einstein’s theory of relativity (Falsified test – solar eclips)
5) Falsifiability
a) Popper
b) Ability for idea to be refuted. There are possible events that if they happen could make theory.
c) Poppers answer to the demarcation problem. A way to solve demarcation problem to determine science from Pseudoscience. Pseudoscience wants to
