Whewell’s Tidal Researches: Scientific Practise and Philosophical Methodology
William Whewell tidology history of HPS scientific methodology
2009/9/16
Primarily between 1833 and 1840, Whewell attempted to accomplish what natural philosophers and scientists since at least Galileo had failed to do: to provide a systematic and broad-ranged study of the...
Scientific Explanation and Scientific Structuralism
Structural explanation quantum mechanics model
2009/9/16
In this paper we argue that quantum mechanics provides a genuine kind of structural explanations of quantum phenomena. Since structural explanations only rely on the formal properties of the theory, t...
ARE UNCONCEIVED ALTERNATIVES A PROBLEM FOR SCIENTIFIC REALISM?
UNCONCEIVED ALTERNATIVES SCIENTIFIC REALISM
2009/9/11
Kyle Stanford starts his a recent book, Exceeding Our Grasp, with the claim that “the most powerful challenge to scientific realism has yet to be formulated” (2006: 9). He goes on to formulate what he...
Scientific Reasoning Is Material Inference: Combining Confirmation, Discovery, and Explanation
inference concepts confirmation induction
2009/9/11
Whereas an inference (deductive as well as inductive) is usually viewed as being valid in virtue of its argument form, the present paper argues that scientific reasoning is material inference, i.e., j...
Internalist and Externalist Aspects of Justification in Scientific Inquiry
evidence justification internalism externalism
2009/9/8
While epistemic justification is a central concern for both contemporary epistemology and philosophy of science, debates in contemporary epistemology about the nature of epistemic justification have n...
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...

How Values in Scientific Discovery and Pursuit Alter Theory Appraisal

2009/6/24
Philosophers of science readily acknowledge that non-epistemic values influence the discovery and pursuit of scientific theories, but many tend to regard these influences as epistemically uninterestin...
Coexistence of several interpretations of quantum mechanics and the fruitfulness of scientific works
Fruitfulness of works re-using works quantum mechanics coexistence of interpretations
2009/6/24
The coexistence of several interpretations of one theory is considered through the example of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The problem considered is whether physicists manage to work properly i...
Structural Realism versus Standard Scientific Realism: The Case of Phlogiston and Dephlogisticated Air
ontic structural realism approximate truth reference theoretical terms phlogiston
2009/6/9
The aim of this paper is to revisit the phlogiston theory to see what can be learned from it about the relationship between scientific realism, approximate truth and successful reference. It is argued...
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...
Formats of Representation in Scientific Theorising

2009/4/23
This paper is intended to sketch the definition of a methodological tool -- the notion of a format of representation -- for the study of scientific theorising. One of its main assumption is that a phi...

The history of the modern world has recorded remarkable achievements and progress in the quality of life of people thanks to the developments of science and technology. Although man’s development of s...
The cognitive ‘Duality Principle’: A resolution of major scientific conundrums
cognitive Duality Principle’
2009/1/19
A logical analysis of the psychophysical (and perceptual illusions) experimental designs has indicated the superiority of cognitive computational processes over mere physical stimulation in determinin...
