What’s Really at Issue with Novel Predictions
Novelty and the 1919 Eclipse Experiments
Discoveries, When and By Whom?
Thomas Kuhn (in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) and Alan Musgrave (in 'Why Did Oxygen Supplant Phlogiston?') argue that it is impossible to precisely date discovery events and precisely identify discoverers. They defend this claim mainly on the grounds that so-called discoverers have in many cases misconceived the objects of discovery. In this paper, I argue that Kuhn and Musgrave arrive at their view because they lack a substantive acco…
Mesosomes
Culp (1994) provides a defense for a form of experimental reasoning entitled ‘robustness’. Her strategy is to examine a recent episode in experimental microbiology—the case of the mistaken discovery of a bacterial organelle called a ‘mesosome’—with an eye to showing how experimenters effectively used robust experimental reasoning (or could have used robust reasoning) to refute the existence of the mesosome. My plan is to criticize Culp's assessme…
