Culture and Modernity: East-West Philosophic Perspectives
Transcendental Arguments and Science: Essays in Epistemology
The Empire of Chance: How Probability Changed Science and Everyday Life
The Empire of Chance tells how quantitative ideas of chance transformed the natural and social sciences, as well as daily life over the last three centuries. A continuous narrative connects the earliest application of probability and statistics in gambling and insurance to the most recent forays into law, medicine, polling and baseball. Separate chapters explore the theoretical and methodological impact in biology, physics and psychology. Themes …
Why do we study the history of philosophy?
It is hardly disputable that nowadays the overwhelming majority of philosophers study the history of their field, at least part of the time. In this respect other disciplines behave differently, and there was a time when philosophers behaved differently, too. Are there good reasons for the change? Do we know those reasons? Do we have well-founded and agreed views on why and for what purpose we, the majority of philosophers or the profession in ge…
Alternative libertarian claims and Sen's paradox
Self-Supporting Preferences and Individual Rights: The Possibility of Paretian Libertarianism
One of the paradoxes in social choice theory that has caused considerable concern among theoretical economists is that of the impossibility of the Paretian liberal, which was discovered by Sen (1970a; 1970b, Chapter 6). It has been found disturbing that even a minimal amount of efficiency in social choice, as expressed by the Pareto principle, should not be compatible with a minimum of individual freedom, as expressed in a rather weak libertarian…
Intertheoretic relations as a tool for the rational reconstruction of scientific development
Transcendental Arguments and Science
Are Statistical Explanations Possible
The intuitive notion of a statistical explanation has been explicated in different ways; recently it has even been claimed that there are no statistical explanations at all. In an attempt to clarify the disputed issue, the approaches adopted by Hempel, by Jeffrey, Salmon and Greeno, and by Stegmüller are analyzed critically, as far as they are concerned with the explanation of particular events. A solution of the controversy is proposed on the ba…
