Popper and the rationality principle

Though Karl Popper's short paper on the rationality principle may not be the most frequently discussed of all of his writings on epistemological matters, it is very probably the most radically criticized. The fact that this champion of falsifiability suggested in this text not to reject a principle that he emphatically declares false has always been a source of embarrassment for his disciples and has often been characterised by his adversaries as a rather shameful theoretical development. In the present paper, I would like to show that, in spite of this fact, Popper's views on rationality, while at moments somewhat awkwardly formulated, are much more sensible than it is usually acknowledged and that they might even be considered as one of his most interesting contributions, and surely as his most underestimated one

Marine Turtle Conservation on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua

The purpose of this initial phase was to expand our previous work on marine turtles on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. This was done through the establishment of a collaborative program with the Miskitu Indians to reduce the uncontrolled take of marine turtles in this region. We initiated activities for a multi-year program that will include research, training, and educational activities involving three Miskitu Indian Communities located in the Indigenous Communities and Miskito Cays Biosphere Reserve (ICMCBR).

Was Keynes a Liberal and an Individualist? Or Keynes reader of Mandeville

Dans le but d'éclairer la question de savoir jusqu'à quel point Keynes devrait être considéré tant comme un libéral que comme un individualiste, le texte examine la façon dont Keynes a compris Mandeville qui, adoptait lui-même, à ce double égard, des positions plutôt ambiguës. La lecture que fait Keynes de la Fable des Abeilles est comparée à celles de N. Rosenberg, de F. Hayek et de L. Dumont. De cette comparaison, se dégage la conclusion que les positions respectives de Keynes et de Mandeville sont beaucoup plus apparentées qu'on le suppose généralement. De plus, ce rapprochement nous invite à redéfinir des concepts comme "individualisme", "holisme", "libéralisme" et "interventionnisme" qui manifestement ne peuvent s'appliquer aisément ni à l'un ni à l'autre de ces auteurs.Whether and to what extent Keynes should be considered both a liberal and an individualist is a rather complex question, and one which this paper proposes to disentangle by analyzing Keynes' understanding of Mandeville, whose positions on these two issues were rather ambiguous, as well. Through a comparison of Keynes' reading of the Fable of the Bees with those of N. Rosenberg, F. Hayek and L. Dumont, it is shown that Mandeville' s and Keynes' positions are much more alike than is generally admitted. Furthermore, this similarity invites us to redefine such categories as « individualism », « holism », « liberalism » and « interventionism », which clearly are difficult to apply to either of these two authors
