Evolution and atheism: Has Griffin reconciled science and religion
In Memoriam: Wesley C. Salmon (1925-2001)
Propensities and Frequencies: Inference to the Best Explanation
Mental Algorithms: Are Minds Computational Systems
The idea that human thought requires the execution of mental algorithms provides a foundation for research programs in cognitive science, which are largely based upon the computational conception of language and mentality. Consideration is given to recent work by Penrose, Searle, and Cleland, who supply various grounds for disputing computationalism. These grounds in turn qualify as reasons for preferring a non-computational, semiotic approach, w…

What's Wrong with Salmon's History: The Third Decade
My purpose here is to elaborate the reasons I maintain that Salmon has not been completely successful in reporting the history of work on explanation. The most important limitation of his account is that it does not emphasize the critical necessity to embrace a suitable conception of probability in the development of the theory of probabilistic explanation
Evolution, rationality, and testability
Wesley Salmon's Scientific Explanation and the Causal Structure of the World
If the decades of the forties through the sixties were dominated by discussion of Hempel's “covering law“ explication of explanation (and its variants), that of the seventies was preoccupied with Salmon's “statistical relevance” conception, which emerged as the principal alternative to Hempel's enormously influential account. Readers of Wesley C. Salmon's Scientific Explanation and the Causal Structure of the World (Salmon 1984), therefore, ought…
