A Taxonomy of Major Premises and Implications for Falsification and Verification 主要前提的分类及其对证伪和验证的影响

ABSTRACT Both naïve and sophisticated falsification arguments depend upon using the logic of modus tollens to employ empirical defeats to conclude that the theory is not true (naïve falsification) or that the conjunction of theory and auxiliary assumptions is not true (sophisticated falsification). However, both types of modus tollens syllogisms depend strongly on the precise form of the major premise. The present goal is to introduce a taxonomy of four types of major premises: positive frame, negative frame, positive-negative frame, and negative-positive frame. For two frames, falsification really is logically superior to verification, but for two other frames, verification is logically superior to falsification. Thus, there is no overall logical basis for preferring falsification to verification or for preferring verification to falsification. Nor are there convincing arguments from Bayesian statistical, frequentist statistical, or empirical standpoints. Thus, the attraction of falsification, whether naïve or sophisticated, comes down, in the end, to something other than an objective philosophical account.
naïve和复杂证伪论证都依赖于使用模态逻辑来利用经验失败来得出理论不正确的结论(naïve证伪),或者理论和辅助假设的结合不正确(复杂证伪)。然而,这两种模式的三段论都强烈地依赖于大前提的精确形式。目前的目标是介绍四种主要前提的分类:积极框架、消极框架、积极-消极框架和消极-积极框架。对于两个框架,证伪在逻辑上确实优于证伪,但对于另外两个框架,证伪在逻辑上优于证伪。因此,没有总体的逻辑基础来支持证伪而不是验证,或者支持验证而不是证伪。也没有令人信服的论据从贝叶斯统计,频率统计,或经验的立场。因此,证伪的吸引力,无论是naïve还是复杂的,最终都归结于客观的哲学叙述之外的东西。

ABSTRACT Nowadays, almost everyone seems to agree that science is facing an epistemological crisis – namely the replicability crisis – and that we need to take action. But as to precisely what to do or how to do it, there are no firm answers. Some scholars argue that the current statistical inferential framework is inadequate and therefore we should focus on improving statistical methods. Some others claim instead that the only way to fix science is to change the scientific reward system, promoting quality rather than quantity of scientific publications. However, every positive proposal, either methodological or social, has a valid counterargument. Here I want to make explicit some reasons for explaining the persistence of disagreement on the solutions to the crisis. Focusing on issues which have been overlooked in the debate might help to better evaluate scientific reforms. With this regard, philosophical knowledge can be mobilised to take action in response to the replicability crisis.
如今,几乎每个人似乎都同意科学正面临着认识论危机——即可复制性危机——我们需要采取行动。但确切地说,该做什么或如何做,没有明确的答案。一些学者认为,目前的统计推理框架是不充分的,因此我们应该把重点放在改进统计方法上。另一些人则声称,修复科学的唯一方法是改变科学奖励制度,提高科学出版物的质量而不是数量。然而,每一个积极的建议,无论是方法论的还是社会的,都有一个有效的反驳。在此,我想明确说明一些原因,以解释在危机解决方案上持续存在分歧。关注在辩论中被忽视的问题可能有助于更好地评估科学改革。在这方面,可以动员哲学知识采取行动,以应对可复制性危机。

A Phenomenological Approach to Epistemic Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics 量子力学认识论解释的现象学方法

ABSTRACT Generally, there are two interpretative approaches to quantum theory: psi-ontic and psi-epistemic. According to the psi-ontic interpretations, quantum theory does/should describe or represent what the world is like. In contrast, according to the psi-epistemic interpretations, rather than representing the way the world is, quantum theory advises us on what to expect from the world and so helps us better navigate our surrounding world. In this paper, we will argue that Edmund Husserl’s philosophy of science especially his notion of lifeworld provides an appropriate framework for better understanding this shift from the psi-ontic to psi-epistemic interpretations of quantum theory. In particular, we analyse Richard Healey’s pragmatic approach to quantum mechanics from a phenomenological point of view.
一般来说,量子理论有两种解释方法:本体论和认识论。根据本体论的解释,量子理论确实/应该描述或代表世界的样子。相比之下,根据psi的认识论解释,量子理论不是代表世界的样子,而是建议我们对世界的期望,从而帮助我们更好地驾驭周围的世界。在本文中,我们将认为埃德蒙·胡塞尔的科学哲学,特别是他的生命世界概念,为更好地理解量子理论从本体论到认识论的转变提供了一个适当的框架。特别是,我们从现象学的角度分析了理查德·希利对量子力学的务实态度。

An Extra-Mathematical Program Explanation of Color Experience 色彩体验的非数学程序解释
IF 0.8 2区 哲学 Pub Date : 2020-07-02 DOI: 10.1080/02698595.2021.1951637

ABSTRACT In the debate over whether mathematical facts, properties, or entities explain physical events (in what philosophers call ‘extra-mathematical’ explanations), Aidan Lyon’s (2012) affirmative answer stands out for its employment of the program explanation (PE) methodology of Frank Jackson and Philip Pettit (1990). Juha Saatsi (2012; 2016) objects, however, that Lyon’s examples from the indispensabilist literature are (i) unsuitable for PE, (ii) nominalizable into non-mathematical terms, and (iii) mysterious about the explanatory relation alleged to obtain between the PEs’ mathematical explanantia and physical explananda. In this paper, I propose a counterexample to Saatsi’s objections. My counterexample is Frank Jackson’s (1998a) program explanation for color experience, which I argue needs recasting as an extra-mathematical PE due to its implicit reliance on reflectance, a property that suffers conceptual regress unless redefined with Fourier harmonics. Pace Saatsi, I argue that this recast example is an authoritative PE, non-nominalizable, and minimally esoteric. Important for the indispensability debate at large, moreover, is that my counterexample reifies Fourier harmonics without the Enhanced Indispensability Argument (an argument to which Lyon applies PE as a premise). Indispensabilists have long overlooked the conditionalization of a limited mathematical realism on property realism, and my counterexample to Saatsi exploits this conditionalization.
在关于数学事实、性质或实体是否能解释物理事件(哲学家称之为“非数学”解释)的争论中,Aidan Lyon(2012)的肯定答案因其采用Frank Jackson和Philip Pettit(1990)的程序解释(PE)方法而脱颖而出。Juha Saatsi (2012;然而,Lyon从不可或缺主义文献中举出的例子(i)不适合PE, (ii)可命名为非数学术语,以及(iii) PE的数学解释和物理解释之间据称获得的解释关系是神秘的。在本文中,我提出了一个反例来反驳Saatsi的反对意见。我的反例是Frank Jackson (1998a)对色彩体验的程序解释,我认为它需要重新定义为一个额外的数学PE,因为它隐含地依赖于反射率,除非用傅立叶谐波重新定义,否则反射率会遭受概念上的回归。我认为,这个重塑的例子是一个权威的PE,非名词化的,和最低限度的深奥。此外,对于整个不可或缺性辩论来说,重要的是我的反例在没有增强不可或缺性论证(里昂将PE作为前提的论证)的情况下实现了傅里叶谐波。不可或缺论者长期以来忽视了有限的数学现实主义对财产现实主义的条件化,而我对Saatsi的反例利用了这种条件化。

Duhem on Good Sense and Theory Pursuit: From Virtue to Social Epistemology 善感与理论追求——从德性到社会认识论

ABSTRACT The emerging consensus in the secondary literature on Duhem is that his notion of ‘good sense’ is a virtue of individual scientists that guides them choosing between empirically equal rival theories (Stump 2007. “Pierre Duhem’s Virtue Epistemology.” Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 38 (1): 149–159; Ivanova 2010. “Pierre Duhem’s Good Sense as a Guide to Theory Choice.” Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 41 (1): 58–64; Fairweather 2011. “The Epistemic Value of Good Sense.” Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 43 (1): 139–146; Bhakthavatsalam (2017). “Duhemian Good Sense and Agent Reliabilism.” Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 64: 22–29). In this paper, I argue that good sense is irrelevant for theory choice within Duhem’s conception of scientific methodology. Theory choice, for Duhem, is either a pseudo-problem or addressed purely by empirical and formal desiderata depending on how it is understood. I go on to provide a positive interpretation of good sense as a feature of scientific communities that undergo particular forms of education that allow scientists to abandon theory pursuit. I conclude by suggesting that this interpretation entails that virtue epistemological readings of Duhem are insufficient for understanding good sense; we must employ a social epistemological perspective.
摘要:关于Duhem的二级文献中出现的共识是,他的“常识”概念是科学家个体的美德,引导他们在经验上平等的竞争理论之间进行选择(Stump 2007)。《皮埃尔·杜赫姆的美德认识论》,《科学史与哲学研究》第A部分38(1):149–159;伊万诺娃2010。“皮埃尔·杜赫姆的理智是理论选择的指南”,《科学史与哲学研究》a部分41(1):58–64;2011年天气晴朗。“理智的认识价值”,《科学史与哲学研究》第A部分43(1):139-146;Bhakthavatsalam(2017)。《杜赫米人的善感与代理人的可靠性》,《科学史与哲学研究》(A 64:22-29)。在本文中,我认为在杜姆的科学方法论概念中,理智与理论选择无关。对Duhem来说,理论选择要么是一个伪问题,要么纯粹由经验和形式需求来解决,这取决于人们对它的理解。我接着对科学界的一个特点——良好的判断力——进行了特殊形式的教育,使科学家放弃了理论追求——进行了积极的解释。最后,我提出,这种解释意味着对杜姆的美德认识论解读不足以理解善意;我们必须采用社会认识论的观点。

ABSTRACT The debate between proponents and opponents of causal foundationalism has recently surfaced as a disparity between causal structuralism and causal anti-foundationalism in the structural realist camp. The paper outlines and dissolves the problem of disparity for (informational) structural realism. I follow John Collier (also Carl T. Bergstrom and Martin Rosvall) to specify causation in terms of the transmission of information. Unlike them, I built upon the reverse quantum data-processing inequality to show how this approach models causation as a symmetric process at the level of fundamental physics (but not special sciences). I show how this suggestion reduces the disparity about causation to a problem of application to diverse contexts.
因果基础主义的支持者和反对者之间的争论最近浮出水面,成为结构现实主义阵营中因果结构主义和因果反基础主义之间的分歧。本文概述并解决了(信息)结构现实主义的差异问题。我跟随约翰·科利尔(还有卡尔·伯格斯特罗姆和马丁·罗斯瓦尔),从信息传递的角度来说明因果关系。与他们不同的是,我建立在反向量子数据处理不等式的基础上,展示了这种方法如何在基础物理学(但不是特殊科学)层面将因果关系建模为对称过程。我展示了这一建议如何减少因果关系在不同背景下应用问题上的差异。

ABSTRACT ‘Simplicity’ comes up in different senses in scientific methodology. The simplicity criterion at issue here is relied on in all inductive inference, it’s argued. Therefore, it cannot be inductively learned—except by learners who already rely on it. The question whether one is warranted in relying on it is indeed in order, but we all are found on the affirmative side of the question in practice. On the one hand, there is arguably an epistemological lesson in this. On the other hand, there is the question what reality must be like objectively for reliance on simplicity to be so apt to pay off when it comes to forecasting the future.
摘要“简单性”在科学方法论中有不同的含义。有人认为,这里争论的简单性标准在所有的归纳推理中都是依赖的。因此,它不能被归纳学习——除非是已经依赖它的学习者。一个人是否有理由依赖它的问题确实是合理的,但在实践中,我们都站在这个问题的正确一边。一方面,可以说这里面有一个认识论的教训。另一方面,有一个问题是,在预测未来时,依赖简单性才能获得回报,客观上现实必须是什么样的。

Taxonomies, Networks, and Lexicons: A Study of Kuhn’s Post-‘Linguistic Turn’ Philosophy 分类、网络和词汇:库恩后“语言转向”哲学研究

ABSTRACT In his mature works, Kuhn abandons the concept of a paradigm and becomes more interested in the analysis of the conceptual structure of scientific theories. These changes are interpreted as resulting from a ‘linguistic turn’ that Kuhn underwent sometimes around the 1980s. Much of the philosophical discussions about Kuhn’s post-‘linguistic turn’ philosophy revolves around his views on taxonomic concepts. Apart from taxonomy, however, the mature Kuhn introduces other concepts, such as conceptual networks and lexicons. This article distinguishes these three concepts and shows that adopting each one of them has different impacts on Kuhn’s model of science. After distinguishing and assessing the concepts of taxonomy, network, and lexicon, it will be argued that the latter not only fits the Kuhnian model of science better, but it also helps capture the wide sense of Kuhn’s early concept of a paradigm.
在其成熟的著作中,库恩放弃了范式的概念,而对科学理论的概念结构分析更感兴趣。这些变化被解释为库恩在20世纪80年代左右经历的“语言转向”的结果。许多关于库恩后“语言学转向”哲学的哲学讨论都围绕着他对分类学概念的看法展开。然而,除了分类法,成熟的库恩还引入了其他概念,如概念网络和词汇。本文对这三个概念进行了区分,并说明采用每一个概念对库恩的科学模式产生了不同的影响。在区分和评估分类学、网络和词汇的概念之后,我们会认为后者不仅更适合库恩的科学模型,而且还有助于捕捉库恩早期范式概念的广泛意义。

These changes are interpreted as resulting from a ‘linguistic turn’ that Kuhn underwent sometimes around the 1980s. Much of the philosophical discussions about Kuhn’s post-‘linguistic turn’ philosophy revolves around his views on taxonomic concepts. Apart from taxonomy, however, the mature Kuhn introduces other concepts, such as conceptual networks and lexicons. This article distinguishes these three concepts and shows that adopting each one of them has different impacts on Kuhn’s model of science.
