Aristotle says that scientific investigation comes in three stages. My point is that Aristotle¡¯s theory of scientific investigation cannot avoid Meno¡¯s paradox ¨C the paradox about the impossibility of whatsoever sort of investigation ¨C unless its second stage, the stage in which one establishes that an object exists, is understood in terms of establishing that the object is a legitimate explanandum in the domain of a given science. %K Scientific research %K Epistemology %K Definition %K Explanation %K Learning %K Heuristics %U http://ojs.c3sl.ufpr.br/ojs2/index.php/doispontos/article/view/18017/11758
