Os dez mandamentos do liberalismo segundo Bertrand Russell
No artigo, Russel escreve que “O liberalismo é mais uma disposição que uma crença. Ele é, na verdade, o oposto de qualquer crença”. Ele continua: “Mas a atitude liberal não diz que você deve se opor à autoridade. Ela só diz que você deveria ser livre para se opor à autoridade, o que é bem diferente. A essência da visão liberal sobre a esfera intelectual é a convicção de que a discussão imparcial é uma coisa útil, e que as pessoas devem ser livres para questionar qualquer coisa, desde que possam apoiar seus questionamentos com argumentos sólidos. A visão oposta, mantida por aqueles que não podem ser chamados liberais, é de que a verdade já é sabida, e que questioná-la é necessariamente subversivo”
1 — Não se sinta absolutamente certo de nada.
2 — Não pense que vale a pena produzir crença através da ocultação de evidências, pois as evidências certamente virão à luz.
3 — Nunca tente desencorajar o pensamento, pois você certamente será bem-sucedido.
4 — Quando você se deparar com oposição, mesmo que seja da parte de seu marido ou de seus filhos, dedique-se a vencê-la com argumentos e não com autoridade, pois uma vitória que depende apenas da autoridade é irreal e ilusória.
5 — Não respeite a autoridade, pois sempre haverá outras autoridades com opiniões contrárias.
6 — Não use o poder para suprimir opiniões que você acha perniciosas, pois se você o fizer, as opiniões suprimirão você.
7 — Não tenha medo de ter opiniões excêntricas, pois cada opinião hoje aceita já foi excêntrica um dia.
8 — Encontre mais prazer no dissenso inteligente que no consenso passivo, pois se você valorizar a inteligência como deveria, o primeiro implica uma concordância mais profunda que o segundo.
9 — Seja escrupulosamente verdadeiro, mesmo quando a verdade for inconveniente, pois é mais inconveniente quando você tenta escondê-la.
10 — Não tenha inveja da felicidade dos que vivem em um paraíso de tolos, pois apenas um tolo pensaria que aquilo é felicidade.

Preposterism and Its Consequences

Preposterism and Its Consequences (1998)
Susan Haack
Susan Haack, “Preposterism and Its Consequences”
Abstract: Haack describes this paper, written in 1996, as “in the nature of a lay sermon.”
The environment is inhospitable to good intellectual work, she argues, to the extent that incentives and rewards encourage people to choose trivial issues where results are more easily obtained, to disguise rather than tackle problems with their chosen approach, to go for the flashy, the fashionable, and the impressively obscure over the deep the difficult, and the painfully clear; insofar as the effective availability of the best and most significant work is hindered rather than enabled by journals and conferences bloated with the trivial, the faddy, and the carelessly or deliberately unclear; insofar as mutual scrutiny is impeded by fad, fashion, obfuscation, and fear of offending the influential.
Sadly, she continues, the environment in which academic philosophy is presently conducted is undeniably an inhospitable one: the “publish-or-perish” ethos and the culture of grants and research projects have encouraged sham and fake reasoning, and even a factitious despair of the possibility of honest inquiry.
In “Out of Step” (2013), Haack writes that, looking back, this paper now seems “distinctly too mild, the present situation much worse than I then foresaw.”

Manifesto de uma moderada apaixonada: Ensaios contra a moda irracionalista (Português) Capa Comum – 31 dez 2010
por Susan Haack (Autor)
Com um senso de humor direto e irônico, a filósofa Susan Haack desenvolve suas habilidades analíticas penetrantes no tratamento de alguns dos debates culturais e sociais mas controvertidos dos últimos anos. Relativismo, multiculturalismo, feminismo, ação afirmativa, velho e novo pragmatismo, ciência, literatura, o futuro da academia e a filosofia em si - tudo isso recai sob o seu afiado escrutínio nesta importante obra.

Sociologia do conhecimento científico
quarta-feira, 3 de julho de 2019
Inteligência socialmente descomprometida
e (aqui, segundo pensou Manheim, indo além de Marx) a ideologia caracterizando não somente o pensamento do adversário mas também o do próprio pensador. Com o conceito geral de ideologia alcança-se o nível da sociologia do conhecimento, a compreensão de que não há pensamento humano (apenas com exceções antes mencionadas) que seja imune às influências ideologizantes de seu contexto social.
Seja como for, Manheim acreditava que as influência ideologizantes, embora não pudessem ser completamente erradicadas, podiam ser mitigadas pela análise sistemática do maior número possível de posições variáveis socialmente fundadas. Em outras palavras, o objeto do pensamento torna-se progressivamente mais claro com esta acumulação de diferentes perspectivas a eles referentes. Nisso deve consistir a tarefa da sociologia do conhecimento, que se torna assim uma importante ajuda na procura de qualquer entendimento correto dos acontecimentos humanos.
Manheim acreditava que os diferentes grupos sociais variam enormemente sua capacidade de transcender deste modo sua própria estreita posição. Depositava a maior esperança na "inteligência socialmente descomprometida", uma espécie de estrato intersticial que acreditava estar relativamente livre de interesse de classe.

Dissecting The Crisis of Science - Andrea Saltelli on The Corbett Report
https://www.bitchute.com/video/RmgOLl1vIQQ/
What is the crisis of science, and what does it tell us about the interface between science and policy? Is there a way to stop the debate over the crisis from becoming a political battling ground? And, if not, what does this mean for the future of science itself? Join Professor Andrea Saltelli and James Corbett for this in-depth exploration of the philosophy of science today on The Corbett Report
Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124

Abstract
Summary
There
is increasing concern that most current published research findings are
false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on
study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question,
and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the
relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a
research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in
a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a
greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where
there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and
analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and
prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in
chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study
designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false
than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed
research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the
prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these
problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.
Solutions: Open Science
In the face of the crisis of science, it is easy to throw our hands up
and watch as the old guard of the scientific establishment circles the
wagons and goes back to business as usual. But there are real solutions
to these problems, and we all—scientists and non-scientists alike—have a
part to play in implementing them. Today on The Corbett Report we
explore Solutions: Open Science.

In recent years, the public has gradually discovered that there is a crisis in science. But what is the problem? And how bad is it, really? Today on The Corbett Report we shine a spotlight on the series of interrelated crises that are exposing the way institutional science is practiced today, and what it means for an increasingly science-dependent society.

Concentração de poder e liberdade intelectual
In both cases, concentrated economic and political power would lead to a suppression of intellectual freedom, though perhaps to different degrees: experts and opinion makers would be pressured to become cogs in a factory of consensus, with the dissidents deported to the gulag of irrelevance.
