D. F.:
"Incidentally, ‘Proofs and Refutations’was written by Lakatos"
which does emphasise the "of sorts" in my self-label of "historian of
analytic philosophy, of sorts", with a vengeance!
Indeed, what Popper wrote was "Conjectures" "... and Refutations" -- I
should have realised that Popperian ´proof´ is an oxymoron!
Will get back to D. F.´s other interesting points, e.g. on the weaker,
non factive, ¨deriving", as I digest things.
Thanks,
J. L. Speranza
