Analogical Reasoning In Science

by Francesco (Catholic University Of Milan) Nappo e Giovanni (Polytechnic University Of Milan) Valente

~~24,33€~~ 21,90€ 10% OFF

free shipping

 As historians of science have noted, one strategy common to the natural and the social sciences is the use of analogy. Formulating hypotheses about an unknown system construed by analogy with what is observed in a more familiar system has proven to be a source of discoveries. This Element aims to clarify the main epistemological questions at stake.

 There has been increasing concern about the alleged rise of various forms of science denial. This Element argues that the notion of science denial is ambiguous and that it is doubtful that any of the phenomena conflated under this label warrants all of the concerns that animate the critics of science denial.

Feminist Philosophy Of Science

by Anke Bueter

~~23,85€~~ 21,47€ 10% OFF

 Feminist scholars have identified pervasive gender discrimination in science as an institution, as well as gender bias in the very content of many scientific theories. An ameliorative project at heart, feminist philosophy of science has inquired into the social and epistemological roots and consequences of these problems and into their potential solutions. Most feminist philosophers agree on a need for diversity in scientific communities to counter the detrimental effects of gender bias. Diversity could thus serve as a unifying concept for a potential consensus of the field. Yet there are substantial differences in the kinds and roles of diversity envisaged. This element argues that we need diversity, both in terms of social locations and of values, to overcome former biases and blind spots. Diversity as such, however, is insufficient. To reap its epistemic benefits, diversity also needs to be institutionalised in a way that counters various forms of epistemic injustice.

Abductive Reasoning In Science

by Finnur Dellsen

~~23,85€~~ 21,47€ 10% OFF

 In abductive reasoning, scientific theories are evaluated on the basis of how well they would explain the available evidence. There are a number of subtly different accounts of this type of reasoning, most of which are inspired by the popular slogan 'Inference to the Best Explanation.' However, these accounts disagree about exactly how to spell out the slogan so as to avoid various problems for abductive reasoning. This Element aims, firstly, to give an opinionated overview both of the many accounts of abductive reasoning that have been proposed and the problems that have motivated them; and, secondly, to critically evaluate these accounts in a way that points toward a systematic view of the nature and purpose of abductive reasoning in science. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Scientific Realism

 This Element begins at the most foundational level of scientific realism, the endeavor to justify belief in the existence of unobservables by way of abduction. Because it takes scientific realism to be the default position of many-scientific realists themselves often assuming it is the default position of scientists-the challenges are emphasis.

Logical Empiricism As Scientific Philosophy

by Alan W. Richardson

~~23,85€~~ 21,47€ 10% OFF

 This Element argues that while logical empiricism was committed to empiricism and did become tied to the trajectory of analytic philosophy, neither empiricism nor logical analysis per se was the deepest philosophical commitment of logical empiricism.
