Against The Idols of the Age
Little known outside his native Australia, David Stove was one of the most illuminating and brilliant philo-sophical essayists of the postwar era. A fearless at-tacker of intellectual and cultural orthodoxies, Stove left powerful critiques of scientific irrationalism, Dar-winian theories of human behavior, and philosophi-cal idealism. He was also an occasional essayist of considerable charm and polemical snap. Stove's writ-ing is both rigorous an…

MR Gibson on Ravens and Relevance
Relevance and the Ravens
These are plausible statements of confirmation. But there is a general principle of confirmation, viz.: (3) Whatever confirms a given hypothesis also confirms any statement logically equivalent to it which is at least as plausible, but inconsistent with them. This fact constitutes the problem about the ravens. The most popular solution to this problem has been along the following. lines: that statement (i) is false; and that its plausibility is t…
On Logical Definitions of Confirmation
Hempel's Paradox
Many writers, and even Professor Hempel himself, have said that Hempel's definition of confirmation has the consequence that 'AH ravens are black' is confirmed by any non-black non-raven. This consequence is often referred to as the paradox of the ravens, and I will sometimes refer to it so. But I do not assume that this supposed consequence is paradoxical, and in fact I will not touch at all on the question whether it is. My object is just to sh…
