Mario A. Bunge - Karl R. Popper (2013)

The Archivo Digital Mario Bunge tries to collect lectures, interviews, informal talks etc. by the world-renowned scholar, physicist and philosopher Mario A. Bunge. We also try to preserve the files and to improve their audio quality if necessary (which works at times, at others it doesn’t, which is explained by our amateurism).
If you happen to be able to contribute a file to the archive, please let us know. You can contact us here: [e-mail]

Anyway, the best way to get to know Mario A. Bunge is to take some time to read one or more of his books. Unfortunately, the list has 165 items today (including translations), so it is too long to fit into this box.
Borlinsky has made some apposite remarks on youtube ( • Interview with Mario B... ) which we therefore quote:
“Bunge's achievement is unique: he provides a systematic and comprehensive philosophy that is conversant with all the contemporary sciences from physics to the social sciences and deals with the entire range of fundamental problems in ontology, epistemology, semantics, ethics, and logic. Those who have studied some of his work either consider him an intellectual terrorist to be feared or a philosophical freedom fighter who sheds bright light on the fundamental questions of scientific knowledge. He takes no prisoners. He exposes obscurantists, names charlatans, and levels scathing criticisms at the scholasticism of academics content to study each other's works rather than engage with reality. There is no one who comes even close to matching what Bunge has managed to do in a long life of scholarship. Perhaps this is why his work is not much more widely celebrated. Maybe the fact that he has neither a British nor American accent or habitus plays a role - even a French or German accent might have helped in the shallow real world of twentieth and twenty-first century philosophers. Lest this conjures up an image of a virtual unknown: Bunge ranks 112th in the new Science Hall of Fame, which measures the frequency with which the full names of scientists appear in books published between 1800 and 2000.”

¡Grande Bunge!

Bunge es el modelo de filósofo para la era actual. Cienficismo puro

[@eddhunter8585]

¡Viva el cientificismo!

Bunge no era cientificista, y el cientificismo se refuta a si mismo.
