Structural Correspondence, Indirect Reference, and Partial Truth: Phlogiston Theory and Newtonian Mechanics
correspondence principle reference theoretical terms scientific realism
2009/6/18
This paper elaborates on the following correspondence theorem (which has been defended and formally proved elsewhere): if theory T has been empirically successful in a domain of applications A, but wa...
How the Growth of Science Ended Theory Change
pessimistic meta-induction no miracles argument
2009/6/5
This paper outlines a defense of scientific realism against the pessimistic meta-induction which appeals to the phenomenon of the exponential growth of science. Here, scientific realism is defined as ...
Bogen and Woodward’s data-phenomena distinction, forms of theory-ladenness, and the reliability of data
Data Phenomena Bogen and Woodward inductive inference reliability
2009/4/16
Some twenty years ago, Bogen and Woodward challenged one of the fundamental assumptions of the received view, namely the theory-observation dichotomy and argued for the introduction of the further cat...
Does the Rational Theory of Addiction Suffer Explanatory Impotence?
addiction rational choice
2009/4/16
In this essay I examine the Rational Theory of Addiction proposed by Becker and Murphy in 1988. Their theory is an extension of rational choice theory to explain and predict aspects of addiction. Beck...
The Organism in Developmental System Theory （DST）
Development Organism Developmental System Theory
2009/4/14
In this paper, I address the question of what the Developmental Systems Theory (DST) aims at explaining. I distinguish two lines of thought in DST, one which deals specifically with development, and t...

Some twenty years ago, Bogen and Woodward challenged one of the fundamental assumptions of the received view, namely the theory-observation dichotomy and argued for the introduction of the further cat...
The Special and General Theory of Realism: Reply to Abell, Armstrong, and McMahon
Realism General Theory
2008/11/6
Conceptions of pictorial realism abound, and perhaps only a philosopher would fret over such abundance as is to be found in this symposium. Saying that Abell, Armstrong, and McMahon offer us three acc...
On the Common Structure of Bohmian Mechanics and the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber Theory
quantum theory without observers Bohmian mechanics
2008/4/22
Bohmian mechanics and the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber theory provide opposite resolutions of the quantum measurement problem: the former postulates additional variables (the particle positions) besides the ...
Falsifications of Hameroff-Penrose Orch OR Model of Consciousness and Novel Avenues for Development of Quantum Mind Theory
quantum mind consciousness Hameroff-Penrose Orch OR
2008/4/22
In this paper we try to make a clear distinction between quantum mysticism and quantum mind theory. Quackery always accompanies science especially in controversial and still under development areas an...
Quantum Mechanics can be viewed as a linear dynamical theory having a familiar mathematical framework but a mysterious probabilistic interpretation, or as a probabilistic theory having a familiar inte...
Logical and Philosophical Remarks on Quasi-Set Theory
quasi-sets logic of quantum mechanics identity
2008/4/22
Quasi-set theory is a theory for dealing with collections of indistinguishable objects. In this paper we discuss some logical and philosophical questions involved with such a theory. The analysis of t...
Neural Unpredictability, the Interpretation of Quantum Theory, and the Mind-Body Problem
Quantum Theory Neural Unpredictability
2008/4/22
It has been suggested, on the one hand, that quantum states are just states of knowledge; and, on the other, that quantum theory is merely a theory of correlations. These suggestions are confronted wi...
On the Physical Consistency of the Special Theory of Relativity (STR)
Special Theory of Relativity Lorentz Transformations
2008/4/22
There are well-established facts whose validity is beyond any doubt, such as the fact that 2 + 2 = 4 or the fact that, say, a lamp that can only flash once in its entire lifetime can only flash at a g...
On Many-Minds Interpretations of Quantum Theory
quantum theory many minds many worlds Everett
2008/4/22
This paper is a response to some recent discussions of many-minds interpretations in the philosophical literature. After an introduction to the many-minds idea, the complexity of quantum states for ma...
On Relative Orbital Rotation in Relativity Theory
relative rotation relative motion relativity
2008/4/22
We consider the following question within both Newtonian physics and relativity theory. "Given two point particles X and Y, if Y is rotating relative to X, does it follow that X is rotating relative t...
