Falsifications and corroborations: Karl Popper's influence on systematics.

Over the last three decades, the philosophy of Karl Raimund Popper has had a strong influence on the field of systematic biology. Unequivocally, no other philosopher's work has had such an influence during this formative period in systematics. Much, but not all, of the early discourse on Popper and systematics dealt with the philosophical basis of systematics as a science. More recently Popper'...

Scott Atran” Pre-theoretical Aspects of Aristotelian Definition and Classification of Animals: the Case for Common Sense

HISTORIANS and philosophers of biology are, for the most part, in accord with the view that ‘essentialism’ has been the principal source of sin in systematics, and the cause of centuries of stagnation. In contrast to the ‘scientific revolution’ which began in the natural philosophy of the sixteenth century, natural history supposedly continued to wallow in what Popper has described as ‘the empt...

Sophisticated falsification and research cycles: Consequences for differential character weighting in phylogenetic systematics

Practicing phylogenetic systematics as a sophisticated falsification research program provides a basis for claiming increased knowledge of sister species relationships and synapomorphies as evidence for those cladistic propositions. Research in phylogenetic systematics is necessarily cyclic, and the place where the positive shift in understanding occurs is subsequent to discovering the most par...

Philosophical conjectures and their refutation.

Sir Karl Popper is well known for explicating science in falsificationist terms, for which his degree of corroboration formalism, C(h,e,b), has become little more than a symbol. For example, de Queiroz and Poe in this issue argue that C(h,e,b) reduces to a single relative (conditional) probability, p(e,hb), the likelihood of evidence e, given both hypothesis h and background knowledge b, and in...
