Criteria of Empirical Significance:A Success Story
empirical significance cognitive significance testability meaningfulness empirical content definition measurement falsifiability verifiability aboutness supervenience empirical equivalence realism structural realism antirealism
2016/6/14
The sheer multitude of criteria of empirical significance has been taken as evidence that the pre-analytic notion being explicated is too vague to be useful. I show instead that a significant number o...
Empirical Adequacy in the Received View
empirical adequacy Received View Constructive Empiricism embedding empirical substructure appearances observations
2016/6/14
I show that the central notion of Constructive Empiricism, empirical adequacy, can be expressed syntactically and specifically in the Received View of the logical empiricists. The formalization shows ...
Symmetry,empirical equivalence,and identity
symmetries empirical equivalence identity of physical states redundancy
2016/6/13
The paper proposes a novel approach to the much discussed question of which symmetries have direct empirical significance and which do not. The approach is based on a development of a recently propose...
Against the Empirical Viability of the Deutsch Wallace Approach to Quantum Mechanics
Everett interpretation quantum mechanics
2016/6/12
The subjective Everettian approach to quantum mechanics presented by Deutsch and Wallace fails to constitute an empirically viable theory of quantum phenomena. The decision theoretic implementation of...
Artificial Examples of Empirical Equivalence
Empirical equivalence underdetermination van Fraassen conventionality of geometry systems of the world
2016/6/12
In this paper I analyze three artificial examples of empirical equivalence: van Fraassen’s alternative formulations of Newton’s theory, the Poincaré-Reichenbach argument for the conventionality of geo...
On the Empirical Equivalence Between Special Relativity and Lorentz's Ether Theory
relativity Einstein Lorentz empirical equivalence empirical evidence non-empirical virtues
2016/6/12
In this paper I argue that the case of Einstein’s special relativity vs. Hendrik Lorentz’s ether theory can be decided in terms of empirical evidence, in spite of the predictive equivalence between th...
Another Look at Empirical Equivalence and Underdetermination of Theory Choice
Empirical equivalence underdetermination theory choice non-empirical virtues empirical evidence confirmation special relativity Hendrik Lorentz
2016/6/12
In 1991 Larry Laudan and Jarret Leplin proposed a solution for the problem of predictive equivalence and empirical underdetermination. In this paper we claim that, even though Laudan and Leplin’s reas...
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...
Within philosophy of physics it is broadly accepted that presentism as an empirical hypothesis has been falsified by the development of special relativity. In this paper, I identify and reject an assu...
Formal and Empirical Methods in Philosophy of Science
Methodology of philosophy of science formal methods experimental philosophy
2009/9/11
This essay addresses the methodology of philosophy of science and illustrates how formal and empirical methods can be fruitfully combined. Special emphasis is given to the application of experimental ...
The Proper Province of Philosophy: Conceptual Analysis and Empirical Investigation
Conceptual Analysis Empirical Investigation
2009/9/8
The practice of conceptual analysis has undergone a revival in recent years. Although the extent of its role in philosophy is controversial, many now accept that conceptual analysis has at least some ...
Theoretical technologies in an “experimental” setting: empirical modeling of proteinic objects and simulation of their dynamics within scientific collaborations around a supercomputer
biophysics protein chemistry models simulation experimental data
2009/9/8
This paper examines, as a case study, some modeling and simulating practices in protein chemistry. In this field, theorists try to grasp proteinic objects by constructing models of their structures an...
Underdetermination, Realism and Empirical Equivalence
underdetermination empirical equivalence data equivalence structural realism
2009/6/4
Are theories ‘underdetermined by the evidence’ in any way that should worry the scientific realist? I argue that no convincing reason has been given for thinking so. A crucial distinction is drawn bet...
ON WHAT THERE REALLY IS:EMPIRICAL REALISM BETWEEN PHYSICS AND PSYCHOLOGY
illusion physics psychology
2009/4/23
Abstract. An opposition between two conceptions of our knowledge of the external world is outlined. On the one hand physicists, like Dirac and Heisenberg, maintain that only what Physics considers rea...
Experts' attitudes towards medical futility: an empirical survey from Japan
medical futility Japan empirical survey
2008/11/12
Background
The current debate about medical futility is mostly driven by theoretical and personal perspectives and there is a lack of empirical data to document experts and public attitudes towards m...
