Epistemic framings in science
When less is more?
Origin Explanation
Numerous phenomena prompt inquiries into their origins, spanning from the cosmos and life, to species, civilizations, and pandemics. Answering these questions entails offering origin explanations. Here, I explore the distinctive characteristics of origin explanations that distinguish them from other types of explanations. I explicate the concept of an origin phenomenon and suggest conceptualizing an origin explanation as a specific form of causal…

Epistemic Markers in the Scientific Discourse
The central role of such epistemic concepts as theory , explanation , model , or mechanism is rarely questioned in philosophy of science. Yet, what is their actual use in the practice of science? Here, we deploy text-mining methods to investigate the usage of 61 epistemic notions in a corpus of full-text articles from the biological and biomedical sciences ( N = 73,771). The influence of disciplinary context is also examined by splitting the corp…
Charting the Territories of Epistemic Concepts in the Practice of Science
Much attention in philosophy of science has been devoted to explicating highly prized concepts such as explanation, theory, or model, among many others, resulting in a plurality of nuanced philosophical accounts (for example, the deductive-nomological account, the causal account, the unification account, and the mechanistic account of explanation). The rationale for this enterprise is to be found in the central epistemic roles that such concepts …
