Dear all, Please join us for the CamPoS (Cambridge Philosophy of Science) seminar
Wednesday 19th 1-2:30pm in HPS Seminar Room 2. Alexander Bird (Bristol) will give a talk entitled "Inference to the Best Explanation and Paradigms". The abstract is below. Best wishes, Christopher Abstract: Peter Lipton raises several important problems for his model of Inference to the Best Explanation: Voltaire's objection, Hungerford's objection, and the problem of Underconsideration. In this paper I argue that Lipton's own solutions don't fully answer those problems, but that an understanding of the cognitive processes of science derived from Kuhn's account of exemplars and paradigm-driven science can do so.
