Lost wanderers in the forest of knowledge

some thoughts on the discovery-justification distinction

Don Howard

pp. 3-22

Let that imperfect designation stand for the project that dominated and defined the philosophy of science, especially in its Anglophone form, during the fifty or so years following the end of the Second World War. While its critics were many,1 its death was slow, and some think still to find a pulse.2 But die it did in the cul-de-sac into which it was led by its own faulty compass.
