Novelty,coherence,and Mendeleev's periodic table
novel prediction use-novelty coherence Dmitri Mendeleev periodic table
2016/6/15
Predictivism is the view that successful predictions of ‘novel’ evidence carry more confirmational weight than accommodations of already known evidence. Novelty, in this context, has traditionally bee...
Models,Mechanisms,and Coherence
Mechanistic explanations scientific realism modeling coherence
2016/6/12
Life-science phenomena are often explained by specifying the mechanisms that bring them about. The new mechanistic philosophers have done much to substantiate this claim, and to provide us with a bett...
Emergent spacetime and empirical (in) coherence
spacetime quantum gravity empirical incoherence causal set theory loop quantum gravity string theory non-commutative geometry
2016/5/30
Numerous approaches to a quantum theory of gravity posit fundamental ontologies that exclude spacetime, either partially or wholly. This situation raises deep questions about how such theories could r...
Coherence, Consistency, and Cohesion: Clade Selection in Okasha and Beyond.
Cohesion Consistency Coherence
2008/4/22
Samir Okasha argues that clade selection is an incoherent concept, because the relation that constitutes clades is such that it renders parent-offspring (reproduction) relations between clades impossi...
Probabilistic Measures of Coherence and the Problem of Belief Individuation
Coherence coherence measures Bovens Fitelson
2008/4/22
Coherentism in epistemology has long suffered from lack of formal and quantitative explication of the notion of coherence. One might hope that such probabilistic accounts of coherence as those propose...
Cognitive scientific realism as presented in my previous paper is amended to include a new and strong epistemic indicator for truth of scietific theories: theory coherence and by implication level coh...
Recent works in epistemology show that the claim that coherence is truth conducive – in the sense that, given suitable ceteris paribus conditions, more coherent sets of statements are always more prob...
Why Lewis', Shogenji's and Fitelsons's notions of coherence cannot be accepted
Coherence coherence measure Bayesian coherence
2008/4/18
In this paper, I show that Lewis' definition of coherence and Fitelson's and Shogenji's measures of coherence are unacceptable because they entail the absurdity that any set of beliefs in general is c...
Why There Cannot Be a Single Probabilistic Measure of Coherence
Bayesianism Coherentism coherence measures
2008/4/15
Bayesian Coherence Theory of Justification or, for short, Bayesian Coherentism, is characterized by two theses, viz. (i) that our degree of confidence in the content of a set of propositions is positi...
Interneuronal macroscopic quantum coherence in the brain cortex! The role of the intrasynaptic adhesive proteins beta-neurexin and neuroligin-1
Quantum consciousness beta-neurexin
2008/4/15
There are many blank areas in understanding the brain dynamics and especially how it gives rise to consciousness. Quantum mechanics is believed to be capable of explaining the enigma of conscious expe...
An Impossibility Result for Coherence Rankings
Bayesianism coherence theory of justification
2008/4/10
If we receive information from multiple independent and partially reliable information sources, then whether we are justified to believe these information items is affected by how reliable the sources...
A Corrective to Bovens and Hartmann's Measure of Coherence
Coherence measures of coherence Luc Bovens
2008/4/9
Bovens and Hartmann (2003a, 2003b) propose to analyze
coherence as a confidence-boosting property. On the basis of
this idea, they construct a new probabilistic theory of coherence.
In this paper, ...
CONSENSUS AND COHERENCE IN MATHEMATICS - HOW CAN THEY BE EXPLAINED IN A CULTURALISTIC VIEW?
CONSENSUS COHERENCE IN MATHEMATICS
2008/4/8
In the more recent philosophy of mathematics, mathematics is seen as a cultural product. In this view, it is not easy to explain the high level of coherence of mathematical theories and concepts and t...
Constraints on the Origin of Coherence in Far-from-equilibrium Chemical Systems
化学 化学哲学 chemistry philosophy chemistry
2007/3/19
Consideration of how dynamic coherences arise from less organized antecedents (`concrescence') is one of the central concerns of Whitehead's thought. Other chapters in this volume consider how his con...
