Defeasibility Without Inductivism

Comesaña, Juan

Pages: 181 –192

[Four principles widely accepted in contemporary epistemology, lead to a contradiction. According to one such principle, it is possible to be justified in believing a proposition on the basis of evidence that does not entail it., call this “inductivism”. In this paper, I want to examine one...

Acting to Know: A Virtue of Experimentation

Morton, Adam

Pages: 195 –205

[We often act in order to know. One celebrated instance of this is scientific experimentation, but as epistemic acts experiments in science have a lot in common with a variety of everyday activities, such as asking for the time or wiping your glasses. The important feature is that the act...

Is There a Place for Epistemic Virtues in Theory Choice?

Ivanova, Milena

Pages: 207 –226

[This paper challenges the appeal to theory virtues in theory choice as well as the appeal to the intellectual and moral virtues of an agent as determining unique choices between empirically equivalent theories. After arguing that theoretical virtues do not determine the choice of one theory at...

Bridging a Fault Line: On Underdetermination and the Ampliative Adequacy of Competing Theories

Axtell, Guy

Pages: 227 –245

[This paper pursues Ernan McMullin’s claim that talk of theory virtues exposes a fault-line in philosophy of science separating “very different visions” of scientific theorizing. It argues that connections between theory virtues and virtue epistemology are substantive rather than ornamental,...

Epistemic Virtues and the Success of Science

Tulodziecki, D.

Pages: 247 –268

[The standard underdetermination argument relies on the assumption that empirical evidence is the only epistemic constraint on theory-choice. One prominent response to this has been the invocation of theoretical virtues, properties of our scientific theories that scientific realists take to be...

Experimental Virtue: Perceptual Responsiveness and the Praxis of Scientific Observation

Vallor, Shannon

Pages: 269 –290

[In this chapter I will develop and defend an account of one particular scientific virtue, one not easily identifiable among traditional lists of the epistemic or the moral virtues, though components or preconditions of this virtue are found in most such accounts. Although my special focus here...

A Matter of Phronesis: Experiment and Virtue in Physics, A Case Study

Di Bucchianico, Marilena

Pages: 291 –312

[Condensed Matter Physics is a branch of research which alone constitutes the biggest slice of the physics community at large (Particle physics, in second place, is still only half in size). The hot and big problem in Condensed Matter Physics today is the puzzle of High Temperature...

Knowledge and Understanding

Pritchard, Duncan

Pages: 315 –327

[A standard account of understanding—one that is especially prevalent in the philosophy of science—treats understanding as essentially a type of knowledge—viz., knowledge of causes. Unfortunately, this proposal is untenable, in that there are cases of genuine understanding where the relevant...

Understanding as Knowledge of Causes

Grimm, Stephen R.

Pages: 329 –345

[What happens when we move from knowing that something is the case to understanding why it is the case: e.g., from knowing that the eclipse occurred to understanding why it occurred? According to a long line of philosophers, the move from knowing that to understanding why is not the result of...

Knowledge, Understanding and Virtue

Kelp, Christoph

Pages: 347 –360

[In a number of recent pieces, Duncan Pritchard has used cases with the structure of Goldman’s infamous fake barn case to argue against (i) a promising virtue epistemological account of knowledge and (ii) a promising knowledge-based account of understanding. This paper aims to defend both of...
