As a fundamental trait of monadic existence, the conatus i…Read more

July 1994 (review)Journal for General Philosophy of Science / Zeitschrift für Allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie 28 (2): 297-305. 1997.Popper's critical rationalism is widely accepted under scientists and philosophers of science as a proper method for the reconstruction of scientific theories. On occasion of the application of the Popperian ideas for the reconstruction of chemistry by Akeroyd the flaws of the critical rationalist approach are criticised and a methodical alternative is proposed, involving the operational definition of scientific terms.

7The judgment-view of painManuscrito 27 (2): 383-404. 2004.In this paper a concept of pain is introduced that regards pain as a formal entity that can be realized in various material ways, similarly to the concept of justice. Pain utterances have rather the character of evaluative judgments and not of propositional descriptions. They aren’t therefore true or false, but adequate or inadequate, correct or wrong, according to the circumstances and the context, in which they are made. Because pain is constituted by the interplay of individual and public att…Read more
