English summary: “Appell an die Vernunft (appeal to reason) is a book that I have especially appreciated ever since it was first published. Because I was interested in the philosophy of science and had been taught a kind of vague academic ambiguity that fluctuated between positivism as the only truth and its absolute rejection, without provision of any sound reasoning, I must confess that Porfirio Miranda’s book held me captive and followed me everywhere – which eventually led to me being joked about and teased.” — Prof. Dr. Yolanda del Valle “To realistically tackle the question of peace, humanity has to opt for the truth, not for ‘It is impossible to know which views are true and which are false.’ So, academic motion is at the same time a determination to stick only to the truth. And I do not think that this movement can be reversed or qualified. Yet one can deepen and refine it. My appeal to reason is aimed at its deepening and refining. ” — Porfirio Miranda, Diary 21 , pp. 1113-14 German description: “Appell an die Vernunft ist ein Buch, das ich seit seiner ersten Veroffentlichung ganz besonders geschatzt habe. Weil ich mich fur Wissenschaftstheorie interessierte und mir eine schwammige wissenschaftliche Ambiguitat gelehrt wurde, die zwischen dem Positivismus als einziger Wahrheit und seiner absoluten Ablehnung schwankte, ohne eine solide Begrundung dafur zu geben, muss ich gestehen, dass dieses Buch Porfirio Mirandas mich gefangen nahm und lange Zeit uberallhin begleitete — was schliesslich Anlass zu Witzeleien und Bemerkungen gab.” Prof. Dr. Yolanda del Valle “Um das Problem des Friedens realistisch anzugehen, muss die Menschheit sich fur das Wahre entscheiden, nicht fur das ‘Es ist nicht moglich zu wissen, welche Ansichten wahr und welche falsch sind’. Nun, die Bewegung der Wissenschaft ist der Entschluss, sich nur an das Wahre zu halten. Und ich glaube nicht, dass diese Bewegung umkehrbar oder relativierbar ist. Sie kann allerdings vertieft und verfeinert werden. Auf ihre Vertiefung und Verfeinerung zielt mein glq Appell an die Vernunft”. Porfirio Miranda, Tagebuch 21, S. 1113-14
