The argument from the good lot
The argument from the bad lot highlights a systematic vulnerability of inferences to the best explanation: inferences will fail if the true hypothesis is not initially under consideration. The present paper develops the natural counter to the bad lot objection: the argument from the good lot. In inferences to causal relevance, scientists routinely rank logical contradictories: "C is a cause of E" and "C is not a cause of E". Thus, they operate wi…
Historical Case Studies: The “Model Organisms” of Philosophy of Science
Presume It Not: True Causes in the Search for the Basis of Heredity
Kyle Stanford has recently given substance to the problem of unconceived alternatives, which challenges the reliability of inference to the best explanation (IBE) in remote domains of nature. Conjoined with the view that IBE is the central inferential tool at our disposal in investigating these domains, the problem of unconceived alternatives leads to scientific anti-realism. We argue that, at least within the biological community, scientists are…
A biografia cultural de uma camisa: A memória trajada de Antoninha Berchon Sampaio
O artigo busca destacar uma peça de vestuário do acervo que pertenceu à Sra. Antoninha Berchon Sampaio, uma figura relevante na sociedade de elite do Rio Grande do Sul. Esta peça e todas as outras que compuseram o acervo, serviram de aporte para o projeto "Memória Trajada", que se propôs a pesquisar o traje como objeto cultural a partir dos pressupostos de Prown (1982), Andrade (2006; 2008) e Gies (2008). O objetivo geral do estudo foi pesquisar …
Network analyses in systems biology: New strategies for dealing with biological complexity
Scenes from a Marriage: On the Confrontation Model of History and Philosophy of Science
According to the "confrontation model," integrated history and philosophy of science operates like an empirical science. It tests philosophical accounts of science against historical case studies much like other sciences test theory against data. However, the confrontation model's critics object that historical facts can neither support generalizations nor genuinely test philosophical theories. Here I argue that most of the model's defects trace …

Slavery in Greco-Roman Egypt
Introduction Anyone who has seen a spectacular movie set in Egypt, say, for example, The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston, will be forgiven for coming away with the impression that the land was full of slaves who spent all their time suffering while building pyramids and other massive structures. Herodotus (2.124), of course, reports a similar image of slave labor and pyramid building. So it is perhaps surprising to see in the preceding …

Formação de professores para a diversidade: Enfrentando o desafio
Um dos maiores desafios da educacao contemporânea e a superacao das desigualdades educacionais, notadamente as voltadas aos povos indigenas, aos imigrantes e a populacao de baixa renda. O palco desse paradoxo reflete um estado de cristalizacao de praticas docentes, que se pautam em metodos pedagogicos concebidos para grupos homogeneos. As abordagens filosoficas que sustentam os projetos de educacao multicultural nas escolas oscilam entre um conti…
