Strike explores the differences between Marxists and liberals over the nature of the good life, about how human beings are formed, and about episemology, and uses these discussions to explore views of schooling.

RESUMENLa noción de progreos matemático constituye uno de los elementos del planteamiento filosófico-metodológico de Ilkka Niiniluoto a los que menor atención se les ha prestado. Para esclarecer esta noción en su enfoque, se estudia su propuesta matemática general, que se asienta en una epistemología de realismo científico-crítico. Se resalta la conjunción que propone entre una Metodología de carácter "cuasi-ampírico", que le aproxima a I. Lakatos, y una Epistemología realista, que le hace sintonizar con la ontología del mundo 3 de Karl (...) popper. También se comparan algunos de sus planteamientos matemáticos con los presentados por Henri Pointcaré.Palabras clavePROGRESO MATEMÁTICO- VEROSIMILITUD-REALISMO MATEMÁTICO-CONTRUCTIVISMOABSTRACTThe notion of mathematical progress is one of the elements of Ilkka Niiniluoto's philosophy and methodology least studied. To clarify it, this paper revises Niiniluoto's philosophy of mathematics, based upon an episemology of criticalscientific realism. The paper underlines his conjunction between a "quasi-empirical" methodology, close to I. Lakatos, and a realist epistemology, close to Karl Popper'sontology of world 3. Finally, a comparison is outlined between niiniluoto"s and Henri Pointcare's mathematics. KEYWORDSMATHEMATICAL PROGRESS- TRHTHLIKNESS-MATHEMATICAL REALISM.CONSTRUCTIVISM. (shrink)

Recent debates in the interpretation of Kant’s theoretical philosophy have focused on the nature of Kantian intuition and, in particular, on the question of whether intuitions depend for their existence on the existence of their objects. In this paper we show how opposing answers to this question determine different accounts of the nature of Kantian cognition and we suggest that progress can be made on determining the nature of intuition by considering the implications different views have for the nature of (...) cognition.
