Patrick Colonel Suppes (b. 1922, Tulsa, OK) is an American philosopher who has made significant contributions to philosophy of science, theory of measurement, foundations of quantum mechanics, decision theory, psychology, and educational technology. Suppes initially graduated in meteorology from the University of Chicago, and was stationed at the Solomon Islands during WWII. After the war, he received a PhD degree from Columbia University, where he was a student of Ernest Nagel.

  • Patrick Colonel Suppes (b. 1922, Tulsa, OK) is an American philosopher who has made significant contributions to philosophy of science, theory of measurement, foundations of quantum mechanics, decision theory, psychology, and educational technology. Suppes initially graduated in meteorology from the University of Chicago, and was stationed at the Solomon Islands during WWII. After the war, he received a PhD degree from Columbia University, where he was a student of Ernest Nagel. In 1952 he went to Stanford University, and from 1959 to 1992 he was the director of the Institute for Mathematical Studies in the Social Sciences (IMSSS). He is now the Lucie Stern Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, at Stanford. In the 1960s, Suppes and Richard C. Atkinson (the future president of the University of California) conducted experiments in using computers to teach math and reading to schoolchildren in the Palo Alto area. Stanford's Education Program for Gifted Youth and Computer Curriculum Corporation (CCC, now named Pearson Education Technologies) is an indirect descendant of those early experiments. In 1965 he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences for his work on mathematical psychology. In 1990, Suppes was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Science by President George H. W. Bush. In 1994 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. He is the laureate of the 2003 Lakatos Award for his contributions to the philosophy of science.
  • Patrick Suppes ist ein amerikanischer Wissenschaftstheoretiker. Nach dem Studium der Mathematik und Philosophie an der Universität von Oklahoma, Tulsa und Chicago wurde Suppes nach mehreren Stationen Professor für Wissenschaftstheorie an der Universität Stanford. Er ist ein Vertreter der modell-theoretischen Sicht in der Wissenschaftstheorie und publizierte zur Philosophie der Mathematik. Suppes wird zusammen mit Nancy Cartwright, Ian Hacking und John Dupre der Stanford-Schule in der Wissenschaftstheorie zugerechtet. Diese eint der kritische Umgang mit dem reduktionistischen Ideal der Einheitswissenschaft.
  • Patrick Colonel Suppes on yhdysvaltalainen filosofi, joka on työskennellyt tieteenfilosofian, mittateorian, kvanttimekaniikan perusteiden, päätösteorian, psykologian ja koulutusteknologian aloilla. Suppes opiskeli alun perin meteorologiaa Chicagon yliopistossa. Toisen maailmansodan jälkeen hän väitteli filosofian tohtoriksi Columbian yliopistosta, jossa hän oli ollut Ernest Nagelin oppilaana. Vuonna 1952 Suppes siirtyi Stanfordin yliopistoon, ja vuosina 1959-1992 hän toimi Institute for Mathematical Studies in the Social Sciences (IMSSS) -instituutin johtajana. Nykyisin Suppes on Stanfordin Lucie Stern -oppituolin filosofian emeritusprofessori. 1960-luvulla Suppes ja Richard C. Atkinson, Kalifornian yliopiston tuleva rehtori, tekivät Palo Alton alueella kokeita tietokoneiden käytöstä matematiikan ja lukemisen opettamisessa koululaisille. Stanfordin Education Program for Gifted Youth -ohjelma sekä Computer Curriculum Corporation (CCC, nykyään Pearson Education Technologies) ovat saaneet alkunsa tätä kautta. Vuonna 1965 Suppes valittiin Yhdysvaltain kansallisen tiedeakatemian jäseneksi hänen ansioistaan matemaattisen psykologian alalla. Vuonna 1990 hän sai National Medal of Science -palkinnon. Vuonna 1994 Suppes kutsuttiin Association for Computing Machineryn jäseneksi. Vuonna 2003 hän sai Lakatos-palkinnon töistään tieteenfilosofian alalla.
