Background and Overview

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 1 –18

[Nomic truth approximation and its relation to confirmation and empirical progress were the leading themes of my book From instrumentalism to constructive realism of 2000. The present book offers again a synthesis of articles. It concerns in the first place six chapters (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7)...

Nomic Truth Approximation by Empirical Progress Revisited

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 21 –39

[In my From Instrumentalism to Constructive Realism (2000) I have shown how an instrumentalist account of empirical progress can be related to nomic truth approximation. However, it was assumed that a strong notion of nomic theories was needed for that analysis. In this chapter it is shown, in...

Perspectives and Guidelines for Theories of (Nomic) Truth Approximation by Empirical Progress

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 41 –51

[The account of nomic truth approximation by empirical progress presented in Chap. 2 is based on the exclusion claim of theories. It is a simplified and generalized version of the one presented in my book From Instrumentalism to Constructive Realism of 2000. However, its core itself, called the...

Models, Postulates, and Generalized Nomic Truth Approximation

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 53 –68

[The qualitative theory of nomic truth approximation, presented in Kuipers (From instrumentalism to constructive realism. On some relations between confirmation, empirical progress, and truth approximation. Synthese library, vol. 287. Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, 2000), in which ‘the...

Quantitative Nomic Truth Approximation

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 71 –84

[Assuming that the target of theory oriented empirical science in general and of nomic truth approximation in particular is to characterize the boundary or demarcation between nomic possibilities and nomic impossibilities, I have presented in Chap. 4 (“Models, postulates, and generalized nomic...

Refined Nomic Truth Approximation

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 85 –108

[Assuming that the target of theory oriented empirical science in general and of nomic truth approximation in particular is to characterize the boundary or demarcation between nomic possibilities and nomic impossibilities, I have presented in Chap. 4 (“Models, postulates, and generalized nomic...

Stratified Nomic Truth Approximation

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 109 –126

[Assuming that the target of theory oriented empirical science in general and of nomic truth approximation in particular is to characterize the boundary or demarcation between nomic possibilities and nomic impossibilities, I have presented in Chap. 4 (“Models, postulates, and generalized nomic...

Theories Looking for Domains. Nomic Truth Approximation by Domain Revision

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 129 –146

[The theory of nomic truth approximation essentially deals primarily with truth approximation by theory revision for a fixed domain. However, variable domains and a fixed theory can also be taken into account, where the main changes concern domain extensions and restrictions. In this chapter I...

Beauty, a Road to the Truth?

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 147 –179

[In this chapter I give a naturalistic-cum-formal analysis of the relation between beauty, empirical success, and truth. The analysis is based on the one hand on a hypothetical variant of the so-called ‘mere-exposure effect’ which has been more or less established in experimental psychology...

Abduction Aiming at Empirical Progress or Even Truth Approximation: A Challenge for Computational Modelling

Kuipers, Theo A. F.

Pages: 183 –196

[This chapter primarily deals with the conceptual prospects for generalizing the aim of abduction from the standard one of explaining surprising or anomalous observations to that of empirical progress or even truth approximation. It turns out that the main abduction task then becomes the...
