Carlton W. Berenda

American philosopher of science · Professor of Philosophy, University of Oklahoma

Carlton W. Berenda was an American philosopher of science who taught at the University of Oklahoma, and who is listed among the contributors to the 1967 Encyclopedia of Philosophy. His 1965 book World Visions and the Image of Man argued that competing cosmologies reflect the self-image of the people who hold them. He is remembered by quotation researchers for a single parenthetical joke on page 196 — almost certainly not the thing he hoped the book would be known for.
