Mario Bunge: An Introduction to His Life, Work and Achievements

  • Chapter
Book cover Mario Bunge: A Centenary Festschrift

Abstract

This chapter outlines something of Mario Bunge’s long life and career as a physicist-philosopher originally living and working in Argentina for 40 years, then in Canada for nearly 60 years. It indicates the extraordinary breadth, depth and quantity of his research publications. It deals briefly with some key components of his work, such as: systemism, causation, theory analysis, axiomatization, ontology, epistemology, physics, psychology and philosophy of mind, social science, probability and Bayesianism, defence of the Enlightenment project, and education. Finally, the chapter gives an account of the structure of the festschrift, and an indication of each of the 41 contributions.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Two issues of the journal Philosophy of the Social Sciences were devoted to appraising the implications of Bunge’s systemism for social science research (Pickel 2004). He contributed to each issue (Bunge 2004a, b).

  2. 2.

    There is a huge literature on this topic. See at least Brown (1994), Corfield and Williamson (2001), Mayo and Spanos (2010), and Swinburne (2002).
