Novel Confirmation and the Underdetermination of Scientific Theory Building

2016/6/12
The extra value of novel confirmation over accommodation is explained based on an analysis of the underdetermination of scientific theory building. Novel confirmation can provide information on the nu...
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...
Values in Science beyond Underdetermination and Inductive Risk
values in science science and values underdetermination inductive risk
2016/5/27
The thesis that the practice and evaluation of science requires social value-judgment, that good science is not value-free or value-neutral but value-laden, has been gaining acceptance among philosoph...
Defending Underdetermination or Why the Historical Perspective Makes a Difference
underdetermination
2011/9/8
The old antagonism between the Quinean and the Duhemian view on underdetermination is reexamined. In this respect, two theses will be defended. First, it is argued that the main differences between Qu...
Reconsidering the Miracle Argument on the Supposition of Transient Underdetermination
no miracles argument underdetermination novel prediction use novelty
2009/6/9
In this paper, I will show that the Miracle Argument is unsound if one assumes a certain form of transient underdetermination. For this aim, I will first discuss and formalize several variants of unde...

This document collects discussion and commentary on issues raised in the workshop by its participants. Contributors are: Greg Frost-Arnold, David Harker, P. D. Magnus, John Manchak, John D. Norton , J...
Various forms of underdetermination that might threaten the realist stance are examined. That which holds between different ‘formulations’ of a theory (such as the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulati...
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...
Underdetermination as an Epistemological Test Tube: Expounding Hidden Values of the Scientific Community
underdetermination empirical equivalence rationality epistemology
2009/6/4
Duhem-Quine underdetermination plays a constructive role in epistemology by pinpointing the impact of non-empirical virtues or cognitive values on theory choice. Underdetermination thus contributes to...
Underdetermination, methodological practices, and the case of John Snow
underdetermination theoretical virtues
2009/4/21
My talk will be guided by the idea that there are some familiar scientific practices that are epistemically significant. I will argue that we can test for the success of these practices empirically by...
Is Structural Underdetermination Possible?

2009/4/8
Structural realism is sometimes said to undermine the theory underdetermination (TUD) argument against realism, since, in usual TUD scenarios, the supposed underdetermination concerns the object-like ...
The Identical Rivals Response to Underdetermination
underdetermination identical rivals Einstein
2009/3/30
The underdetermination of theory by data obtains when, inescapably,
evidence is insufficient to allow scientists to decide responsibly
between rival theories. One response to would-be underdetermina...

2008/4/22
In the seventeenth century, Newton published his famous experimentum crucis, in which he claimed that light is heterogeneous and is composed of (colored) rays with different refrangibilities. Experime...

Four empirically equivalent versions of general relativity,
namely standard GR, Lorentz-invariant gravitational theory,
and the gravitational gauge theories of the Lorentz and
translation groups, a...

2008/3/31
There are two ways that we might respond to the underdetermination of theory by data. One response, which we can call the agnostic response, is to suspend judgment: `Where scientific standards cannot ...
