At the height of the great method debate in the 20th century what were Carl Popper and Thomas Kuhn debating about? How long did the discourse start last etc? Who won the debate? What was the take away and where are we at with it today?
Context: reading some #philosophy of #science lately as well.
I picture the mind kind of like a garden, all the parts I’m learning revolve around a similar theme which is mostly around some of the nuts and bolts of #science.
Popper is now mostly known for refutation, which most scientists know, but rarely follow in the pure form. Kuhn was much closer to how science is actually being done. Arguably, Kuhn was more of sociologist of science than philosopher of science. Both are considered wrong in their own way, i.e. their theories have known problems and gaps.

Yes I do understand however I was hoping to get human input on the topic, not trying to run anyone under the bus, just get some friendly perspectives that’s all! Thanks for answering!
For some broad questions I just like to hear from others first maybe get some organic answers. Before I form anything about the subject that’s all.
I do use Plato @ Stanford anytime I have any questions regarding specifics. I was more interested in contextual and chrono that’s all :)
@philosophy
I should add if anyone has any links that’s fine.
I’m also interested knowing who you think is the greatest philosopher of the 21st century?
Which school of philosophy do you feel is most representative in today’s world? Do you agree with it? Why?
😂
