Pragmatism Versus Social Construction
In a response to my recent article in this journal, Shahram Shahryari argues that I fail to present a third position between absolutism and relativism. He makes two points: first, that fallibilism is insufficient as an alternative, because it is compatible with both relativism and absolutism. The second point is that my argument that experience can lead to objective judgment without being a new absolute fails. I discuss these in turn, showing tha…
Fallibilism versus Relativism in the Philosophy of Science
Scientific pluralism and metaphysics
Conceptual Change and the Philosophy of Science
In this book, David Stump traces alternative conceptions of the a priori in the philosophy of science and defends a unique position in the current debates over conceptual change and the constitutive elements in science. Stump emphasizes the unique epistemological status of the constitutive elements of scientific theories, constitutive elements being the necessary preconditions that must be assumed in order to conduct a particular scientific inqui…
New perspectives on Pierre Duhem’s The aim and structure of physical theory
Rationalism in Science
This chapter contains sections titled: The New Experimental Science as a Challenge to Intuition Geometry and Intuition The Mathematical Tradition and Theoretical Science
Pierre Duhem’s virtue epistemology
Defending Conventions as Functionally a Priori Knowledge
Recent defenses of a priori knowledge can be applied to the idea of conventions in science in order to indicate one important sense in which conventionalism is correct—some elements of physical theory have a unique epistemological status as a functionally a priori part of our physical theory. I will argue that the former a priori should be treated as empirical in a very abstract sense, but still conventional. Though actually coming closer to the …

The Disunity of Science
Naturalized Philosophy of Science with a Plurality of Methods
Naturalism implies unity of method—an application of the methods of science to the methodology of science itself and to value theory. Epistemological naturalists have tried to find a privileged discipline to be the methodological model of philosophy of science and epistemology. However, since science itself is not unitary, the use of one science as a model amounts to a reduction and distorts the philosophy of science just as badly as traditional …
The Role of Skill in Experimentation
Ludwik Fleck's Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact is an extended argument for the inclusion of social factors in the history and philosophy of science. Fleck uses the history of syphilis as his case study, which falls into two parts. In the first two chapters of his book, Fleck presents a history of the change of the concept of syphilis as a "carnal scourge with strong moralistic connotations" in the middle ages to the modern concept of…
