Abstract:

According to Boyd/Putnam, scientific realism is the view that successful theories are typically approximately true and that their key terms typically refer. The no-miracle argument for the view holds that approximate truth and reference provide the best explanation of the success of science. I try to defend scientific realism from the following six lines of antirealist objections. First, constructive empiricists argue that inference to the best explanation is a problematic rule of inference. I try to show that their critiques of inference to the best explanation backfire on van Fraassen's posi

Abstract:

A sociologically integrated approach suggesting an interpretation of bibliometric indicators and maps is developed in this work. The programmatic element of the thesis is the integration of the constructivist perspective relating to the re-production of scientific community with the metric program in Bibliometrics. The accomplishment of the main purposes introduced above is realised through the following goals, which can be listed according to the level of generality. First of all, this work aims to demonstrate the potentialities of a proposal in the field of citation theory which encompasses

Abstract:

The scientific advances have greatly influenced the perception of the facts, generating some objectivation of the perception of the proof . In the past, many decisions were made on the basis of common sense and presumptions. This is reduced by the performance of more reliable evidence, which can generate a better conviction in the judge or legal operator.In this article, the author develops the effects that scientific evidence has had on legal practitioners, such as judges. Also, a theoretical framework will be proposed to understand this type of test, taking as reference emblematic cases.<br>

Over time, through the accumulation of evidence, one explanation for a scientific phenomenon tends to take precedence.

As such, argumentation has become a goal within recent policy documents, including the Next Generation Science Standards, which, in turn, presents a need for compr

Abstract:

Ever since Hempel and Oppenheim's development of the Deductive Nomological model of scientific explanation in 1948, a great deal of philosophical energy has been dedicated to constructing a viable model of explanation that concurs both with our intuitions and with the general project of science. Here I critically examine the developments in this field of study over the last half century, and conclude that Humphreys' aleatory model is superior to its competitors. There are, however, some problems with Humphreys' account of the relative quality of an explanation, so in the end I develop and defe

Abstract:

It is now part and parcel of the official philosophical wisdom that models are essential to the acquisition and organisation of scientific knowledge. It is also generally accepted that most models represent their target systems in one way or another. But what does it mean for a model to represent its target system. Surprisingly, this issue has hardly been recognised, much less seriously discussed. In the first part, I introduce the problem of scientific representation and argue for its importance. In the second part, I provide a critique of the current orthodoxy, the semantic view of theories.

The validity of claims made about 'schizophrenia' (that it is a scientific concept and that it refers to a syndrome) was assessed in three analyses: of the writings of those said first to have described schizophrenia; of the development of rules for inferring schizophrenia and of 'genetic' research said to be central to the concept's theoretical network. Four major conclusions were drawn: 1. That there was no evidence to support the original introduction of 'schizophrenia', but good evidence that some of the population from which it was derived were suffering from a later-identified neurologic

We develop a new fast multipole method that allows the calculation of the energy of a system of N particles in O(N) time, where the particles’ interac

Abstract:

This thesis is about Thomas Kuhn's philosophy of collective scientific practice. The question it aims to answer is: How is it possible to describe the collective scientific practice during what Kuhn defines as periods of normal science? In the introductory chapter I discuss Kuhn's model of science as presented in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. In Chapter 2, I define Kuhn's notion of normal science as a collective practice carried out within a scientific community in the light of a 'paradigm'. Since the concept of paradigm was abandoned after Structure, the following chapters examine

It is important to analyse the sources of errors during visualization, and to establish mechanisms that enable the characterization of the accuracy.

It establishes a literary theoretical, and historical framework through which the textual versions of their performances should be read, highlighting the ways in which the scientists' claims to objectivity were enhanced, or obfuscated, through translation i
