A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology
Understanding Scientific Theories: An Assessment of Developments, 1969–1998
The positivistic Received View construed scientific theories syntactically as axiomatic calculi where theoretical terms were given a partial semantic interpretation via correspondence rules connecting them to observation statements. This paper assesses what, with hindsight, seem the most important defects in the Received View; surveys the main proposed successor analyses to the Received View—various Semantic Conception versions and the Structural…
The Structure of a Scientific Paper
Scientific articles exemplify standard functional units constraining argumentative structures. Severe space limitations demand every paragraph and illustration contribute to establishing the paper's claims. Philosophical testing and confirmation models should take into account each paragraph, table, and illustration. Hypothetico-Deductive, Bayesian Inductive, and Inference-to-the-Best-Explanation models do not, garbling the logic of papers. Micro…

Explaining Homosexuality: Philosophical Isues, and Who Cares Anyhow
Standard behavioral and biological attempts to explain the etiology of homosexuality are surveyed. These include genetic, physiological (e.g., hormonal), constitutional (e.g., wrong pubic hair configurations), childhood experience, parenting, and psychoanalytic accounts. These are criticized from a number of perspectives, including inadequate conceptualization of homosexuality and heterosexuality. The use of path analysis to assess etiological ac…

The limited applicability of agricultural research
In Defense of a Multidimensional Approach to Sexual Identity
The papers in Bisexual and Homosexual Identities assert that standard notions of sexual identity are inadequate. Their criticisms rest on unarticulated views about the nature of science, which constitute positions in the Verstehen controversies. It is argued that social constructionist conceptualizations of sexual identity, which these papers propose as an alternative to earlier ones, are unidimensional and thus inadequate. Despite its limitation…
Classifying Sexual Disorders: TheDiagnostic and Statistical Manualof the American Psychiatric Association
The objectivity of the classification of sexual disorders in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) of the American Psychiatric Association is explored via a critical examination of the replacement of homosexuality per se by ego-dystonic homosexuality, DSM's working concept of a mental disorder, the notion of a paraphilia, components of sexual identity, and the literature on variant sexual behaviors. It is argued tha…

The Bell and Weinberg Study: Future Priorities for Research on Homosexuality
The Bell and Weinberg Homosexualities study attempts to subject important prior studies on homosexuality to systematic large-sample retests and also to break new ground in our positive understanding of homosexuality. In this article, defects in prior studies are surveyed, and then the adequacy of Bell and Weinberg's work is subjected to methodological evaluation. Issues discussed include the validity of the MMPI Mf scale, questions of sample repr…

The Structure of scientific theories
Theories, their formulations, and the operational imperative
What's Wrong with the Received View on the Structure of Scientific Theories?”
Achinstein, Putnam, and others have urged the rejection of the received view on theories (which construes theories as axiomatic calculi where theoretical terms are given partial observational interpretations by correspondence rules) because (i) the notion of partial interpretation cannot be given precise formulation, and (ii) the observational-theoretical distinction cannot be drawn satisfactorily. I try to show that these are the wrong reasons f…
