  • Scientists' Understanding of Propositional Logic: An Experimental Investigation

    Open AccessLeslie Kern, Leslie H Kern et al.ARTICLESocial Studies of Science1983Cited by: 3References: 1

    Seventy-two scientists (psychologists, biologists, and physicists) from a large US midwestern state university completed a questionnaire designed to assess understanding of the principles of formal logic believed by philosophers of science to be essential to theory and hypothesis testing. The questionnaire, in a multiple-choice format, required solutions to problems presented in either abstract (symbolic) or concrete (specific example) terms. Acr…

  • Determinism Versus Continuity

    Open AccessVirgil HinshawARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1959References: 2

    Prompted by Alfred Landé's appraisal of individual indeterminacy in both ordinary and quantum games of chance [ Mind , n.s. 67: 174-181 (April, 1958)], this paper suggests an alternative assessment in terms of the model-structure of physical theory. Whereas Landé explains such indeterminacy by appeal to “the Leibnitzian principle” of causal continuity, the author sees no need for such a special explanation. Instead, he indicates how the partial i…

  • The Objectivity of History

    Open AccessVirgil HinshawARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1958

    Can history be objective? Is history a science or humanistic discipline? What is its subject-matter? These three questions are variations on a single theme—the objectivity of history—which I want to explore. Faced with the welter of claims and counter-claims regarding objectivity in history, there is need to be explicit about one's approach to these claims. My prime endeavor in this paper is to reformulate these questions from my scheme of refere…

    Open AccessVirgil Hinshaw, Virgil G HinshawARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1948Cited by: 5

    Since Protagoras' classic “man is the measure of all things,” claims of relativism and counter-claims have been tendered. The nineteenth century saw Durkheim, Levy-Bruhl, Westermarck, Pareto, Marx, and others, suggesting that institutions, customs, moral codes, and the like, are “relative” both to the culture and to the time. At the crest of this wave of “relativism” surged a vicious claim: that truth and knowledge itself were merely functions of…

  • The Pragmatist Theory of Truth

    Open AccessVirgil Hinshaw, Virgil G HinshawARTICLEPhilosophy of Science1944Cited by: 1

    In a recent paper I criticized the pragmatist theory of truth from the frame of reference of modern logical positivism (scientific empiricism). By showing the similarity between Karl Mannheim's claims of epistemological relevance for sociology of knowledge and certain pragmatist notions concerning truth I made criticism of the latter with the former. The aim of this present paper is to extend and elaborate upon those critical remarks regarding pr…
