Simulation as an epistemic tool between theory and practice:A comparison of the relationship between theory and simulation in science and folk psychology
folk psychology
2008/4/21
In this paper I explore the concept of simulation that is employed by proponents of the so-called simulation theory within the debate about the nature and scientific status of folk psychology. Accordi...
This paper assesses the Everettian approach to the measurement problem, especially the version of that approach advocated by Simon Saunders and David Wallace. I emphasise conceptual, indeed metaphysic...
Special Theory of Relativity and the Lorentz Force
Special Theory of Relativity Lorentz Trandformations
2008/4/21
Efforts to demonstrate that the application of Lorentz transformations leads to the form Y' = [Y - (v/c)N] (at least to the leading orders of approximation), which has been elevated to the criterion f...
String Theory - From Physics to Metaphysics
quantum gravity string theory string landscape
2008/4/21
Currently, string theory represents the only advanced approach to a unification of all interactions, including gravity. In spite of the more than thirty years of its existence, the sequence of metamor...
The Internal and External Problems of String Theory - A Philosophical View
String Theory Quantum Gravity Nomological Unification
2008/4/21
String theory is at the moment the only advanced approach to a unification of all interactions, including gravity. But, in spite of the more than thirty years of its existence, it does not make any em...
The pragmatic theory of explanation is an attempt to see explanation as a linguistic response to a cognitive problem where the content of the response depends on the context of the scientific inquiry....
This paper discusses an almost sixty year old problem in the philosophy of science -- that of a logic of confirmation. We present a new analysis of Carl G. Hempel's conditions of adequacy (Hempel 1945...
The time reversal invariance of classical electromagnetic theory: Albert versus Malament.
time reversal invariance electromagnetic theory
2008/4/21
David Albert has recently argued that classical electromagnetic theory (EM) is not time reversal invariant (non-TRI), while David Malament rejects this argument and maintains the orthodox result, that...
Theoretical Omniscience: Old Evidence or New Theory
Bayesian Confirmation Theory Theoretical Omniscience
2008/4/21
I will show that, in the Problem of Old Evidence, unless a rational agent has a property I will call theoretical omniscience (a stronger version of logical omniscience), a problem with non-commutativi...
The Subtleties of Entanglement and its Role in Quantum Information Theory
entanglement nonlocality dense coding
2008/4/21
My aim in this paper is a modest one. I do not have any particular thesis to advance
about the nature of entanglement, nor can I claim novelty for any of the material I shall
discuss. My aim is simp...
Theory Change and Bayesian Statistical Inference
theory change Bayesian statistical inference inductive predictions
2008/4/21
This paper addresses the problem that Bayesian statistical inference cannot accommodate theory change, and proposes a framework for dealing with such changes. It first presents a scheme for generating...
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...
Theory Construction and Experimentation in High Energy Particle Physics, Circa 1960-1970.
scientific experimentation theory-ladenness of experimentation
2008/4/21
In this paper, I address the issue of to what extent the theory-dominated view of scientific experimentation describes scientific practice. I rely on a time period from the history of High Energy Phys...
Theory reduction by means of functional sub-types
reductionism theory reduction multiple realization
2008/4/21
The paper sets out a new strategy for theory reduction by means of functional sub-types. This strategy is intended to get around the multiple realization objection. We use Kim’s argument for token ide...
Time Flow Physics: Introduction to a unified theory based on time flow.
Time flow simultaneity Lorentz symmetry
2008/4/21
This paper summarises a novel approach to constructing a unified theory of fundamental physics, which I have called 'Time Flow Physics' (TFP). It is shown how this provides a natural model which repro...
