Bayesian Philosophy of Science
Jan Sprenger and Stephan Hartmann offer a fresh approach to central topics in philosophy of science, including causation, explanation, evidence and scientific models. Their Bayesian approach uses the concept of degrees of belief to explain and to elucidate manifold aspects of scientific reasoning.
Bayesian Philosophy of Science
How should we reason in science? Jan Sprenger and Stephan Hartmann offer a refreshing take on classical topics in philosophy of science, using a single key concept to explain and to elucidate manifold aspects of scientific reasoning. They present good arguments and good inferences as beingcharacterized by their effect on our rational degrees of belief. Refuting the view that there is no place for subjective attitudes in "objective science", Sprenger and Hartmann explain the value of convincing evidence in terms of a cycle of variations on the theme of representing rational degrees ofbelief by means of subjective probabilities (and changing them by Bayesian conditionalization). In doing so, t...
Scientific Collaboration and Collective Knowledge
Current scientific research almost always requires collaboration among several (if not several hundred) specialized researchers. When scientists co-author a journal article, who deserves credit for discoveries or blame for errors? How should scientific institutions promote fruitful collaborations among scientists? In this work, leading philosophers of science address these critical questions
Borders of Qualitative Research
Increasing numbers of researchers are using arts-based, embodied or creative methods. They promote rapport and connection, facilitating research that reaches beyond surface understanding to expose authentic stories and hidden, richer truths. Whilst powerful, these methods can have unintended consequences and the potential for harm. Drawing on case studies and lessons learned from programmes and work across research, therapy, education, art and science, this engaging book explores and demonstrates the porous borders of research. It invites researchers to reflect and consider the boundaries and consequences of their work in order to deepen and widen its applicability and impact across science, art, education and therapy.
Best Explanations
Twenty philosophers offer new essays examining the form of reasoning known as inference to the best explanation - widely used in science and in our everyday lives, yet still controversial. Best Explanations represents the state of the art when it comes to understanding, criticizing, and defending this form of reasoning.
Algorithmic Breakdown
Algorithmic Breakdown is a compelling exploration into the complex world of algorithmic discrimination. It is a provoking journey into the ethical implications, societal impact, and potential solutions surrounding this critical issue. This book challenges preconceptions and sparks conversations essential for understanding and addressing algorithmic discrimination in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.
The Stability of Belief
In everyday life we either express our beliefs in all-or-nothing terms or we resort to numerical probabilities: I believe it's going to rain or my chance of winning is one in a million. 'The Stability of Belief' develops a theory of rational belief that allows us to reason with all-or-nothing belief and numerical belief simultaneously.
Kirgistan gibt es nicht
Reisen ist für Jonas Lebensprinzip, Flucht und Suche zugleich. Wohin genau und mit wem er gerade unterwegs ist, scheint ihm beinah egal, solange es nur weitergeht. Das ändert sich, als er in Kirgistan Olga kennenlernt: Jonas ist fasziniert von der verschlossenen Ukrainerin und tut alles, um bei ihr zu bleiben. Zusammen mit Roger und Camille, einem französischen Paar, das sich ungefragt anschließt, verbringen die beiden verträumte Tage an einsamen Badestränden und unruhige Nächte in spartanischen Herbergen; sie reisen durch verlassene Dörfer rund um den Gebirgssee Issyk-Kul, trinken Wodka mit jungen Kirgisen und finden dabei vieles – nur nicht zueinander. Immer wenn Jonas glaubt, Ol...
Conditionals
This edited book examines conditionals from a number of interdisciplinary perspectives, drawing on research from fields as diverse as linguistics, psychology, philosophy and logic. Across 13 chapters, the authors not only investigate and examine various commonly-held perceptions about conditionals, but they also challenge many of the assumptions underpinning current conditionals scholarship, setting an agenda for future research. Based in part on the papers presented at a unique international summer school - Conditionals in Paris - this volume represents the cutting edge in the study of conditionals, and it will be of interest to scholars in fields including linguistics and psychology, semiotics, philosophy and logic, and artificial intelligence.
Philosophy and the Precautionary Principle
This book presents and defends an interpretation of the precautionary principle from the perspective of philosophy of science.
