On A Proportionality Analysis of Syllogistic Private Reasoning
The Geometry of Voting Cycles
It is well known that when all voters in an electorate have preferences consistent with a single underlying dimension, then the electorate's aggregate preferences must be transitive. However, analyses of historical elections suggest that voters frequently view political alternatives (parties and candidates) arrayed along not one, but two principal dimensions. Building on earlier work by Feld and Grofman, we develop a simple geometric method to re…
Idealization in Applied First-Order Logic
The Genealogy of Disjunction
On the Method of Superposition
Archaeological Typology and Practical Reality: A Dialectical Approach to Artifact Classification and Sorting
Archaeological Typology and Practical Reality: A Dialectical Approach to Artifact Classification and Sorting
Classifications are central to archaeology. Yet the theoretical literature on the subject, both in archaeology and the philosophy of science, bears very little relationship to what actually occurs in practice. This problem has long interested William Adams, a field archaeologist, and Ernest Adams, a philosopher of science, who describe their book as an ethnography of archaeological classification. It is a study of the various ways in which field …
Conditionals
Purpose and Scientific Concept Formation
Continuity and idealizability of approximate generalizations
Probabilistic enthymemes
The Logic of Conditionals: An Application of Probability to Deductive Logic
On the uncertainties transmitted from premises to conclusions in deductive inferences
The Naive Conception of the Topology of the Surface of a Body
On the nature and purpose of measurement
Elements of a Theory of Inexact Measurement
Modifications of current theories of ordinal, interval and extensive measurement are presented, which aim to accomodate the empirical fact that perfectly exact measurement is not possible (which is inconsistent with current theories). The modification consists in dropping the assumption that equality (in measure) is observable, but continuing to assume that inequality (greater or lesser) can be observed. The modifications are formulated mathemati…
