William Herschel's defense of speculative inquiry
Although William Herschel (1738-1822) is most well-known as an astronomer and instrument-maker, he also had interests in speculative philosophy (e.g., metaphysics), as several papers he read at the Bath Philosophical Society reveal. These papers, arguably, are the context in which Herschel engaged most directly in philosophical argumentation and are thus worthy of greater scholarly attention. In this article, I focus on Herschel's paper entitled …
Fake News and Epistemic Vice
The topic of fake news has received increased attention from philosophers since the term became a favorite of politicians. Notably missing from the conversation, however, is a discussion of fake news and conspiracy theory media as a market. This paper will take as its starting point the account of noxious markets put forward by Debra Satz and will argue that there is a pro tanto moral reason to restrict the market for fake news. Specifically, we …
A Rawlsian Solution to the New Demarcation Problem
In the last two decades, a robust consensus has emerged among philosophers of science, whereby political, ethical, or social values must play some role in scientific inquiry, and that the ‘value-free ideal’ is thus a misguided conception of science. However, the question of how to distinguish, in a principled way, which values may legitimately influence science remains. This question, which has been dubbed the ‘new demarcation problem,’ has until…
Online Misinformation and “Phantom Patterns”
In this article, we examine how the availability of massive quantities of data, that is, the “Big Data” phenomenon, contributes to the creation, spread, and harms of online misinformation. Specifically, we argue that a factor in the problem of online misinformation is the evolved human instinct to recognize patterns . While the pattern‐recognition instinct is a crucial evolutionary adaptation, we argue that in the age of Big Data, these capacitie…

The Fate of Explanatory Reasoning in the Age of Big Data
String theory, non-empirical theory assessment, and the context of pursuit

Evidence and explanation in Cicero's On Divination
Does IBE Require a ‘Model’ of Explanation
In this article, I consider an important challenge to the popular theory of scientific inference commonly known as ‘inference to the best explanation’ (IBE), one that has received scant attention.1 The problem is that there exists a wide array of rival models of explanation, thus leaving IBE objectionably indeterminate. First, I briefly introduce IBE. Then, I motivate the problem and offer three potential solutions, the most plausible of which is…
Can there be a Bayesian explanationism? On the prospects of a productive partnership
Análisis funcional del conjunto arquitectónico RCh 8, localidad arqueológica de Rincón Chico, valle de Yocavil, Catamarca
El presente trabajo evalúa desde una escala micro las evidencias recuperadas en el conjunto residencial Rincón Chico 8 (RCh 8), emplazado en el sector bajo de la localidad arqueológica de Rincón Chico, Santa María, Valle de Yocavil, Catamarca. Dos fechados lo adscriben al Período de los Desarrollos Regionales (siglos IX-XV). Conjuntos arquitectónicamente similares fueron mencionados por primera vez por Ambrosetti (1897) para Quilmes y fueron prop…
Gran Gruta Grabada De Chiquimí
En este trabajo se describen y reinterpretan los motivos rupestres de la Gruta Grabada de Chiquimí (valle de Yocavil, provincia de Catamarca, Argentina). Dichos motivos fueron originalmente encontrados por Adán Quiroga en la década de 1920 y redescubiertos luego de cien años de permanecer ocultos en un rincón del valle. En primer lugar, se efectúa una reseña del trabajo pionero del autor. A continuación se sitúa la gruta en el paisaje, dando a co…
Katrina's Aftermath
The churches in areas adjacent to the Gulf Coast played an important role in the relocation and support of many thousands of people forced out of their homes by Hurricane Katrina. This article describes a plan, the Rapid Mobilization Action Plan, that was developed and used by the clergy and parishioners of 40 churches, with the assistance of clergy from as far away as New York and with financial support from across the country. The plan describe…
