Dialogue on scientific theories and fuzziness-fuzzy-philosophical investigations

Abstract

The historiography of modern science comprises some famous dialogues, starting with thirtysix Socratic dialogues ascribed to Plato. Then there is Galileo's famous Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo that is the model for the fictitious debate on scientific theories and their relationships, that is presented in this chapter, and this subject of Philosophical Investigations reminds the reader of the posthumous edited book by Ludwig Wittgenstein. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
