Dos melioristas: ¿Decisionismo metodológico o ética de las creencias? (A través de Karl Otto Apel)

Resumen

The fallibilism of Peirce and Popper admits a process of improvement, without skepticism or relativism, as the radical post-modernism of some of their followers suggests. However Karl-Otto Apel across their intellectual life have shown that meliorism is very different in both authors: Popper justifies his position by a methodological decisionism, whereas Peirce justifies his approach by a transcendental pragmatic foundation, which is the only valid according to Apel.
