Collective Cognitive Processes around 1930. Edgar Zilsel’s Epistemology of Mass Phenomena
social epistemology statistics probability theory induction irreversibility
2009/9/8
In the first decades of the 20th century politics, economy and the emerging social sciences were not the only realms engaged in understanding social questions and organizing society by means of statis...
Empiricists claim that in accepting a scientific theory one should not commit oneself to claims about things that are not observable in the sense of registering on human perceptual systems (according ...
Bogen and Woodward’s data-phenomena distinction, forms of theory-ladenness, and the reliability of data
Data Phenomena Bogen and Woodward inductive inference reliability
2009/4/16
Some twenty years ago, Bogen and Woodward challenged one of the fundamental assumptions of the received view, namely the theory-observation dichotomy and argued for the introduction of the further cat...

Refutability Revamped: How Quantum Mechanics Saves the Phenomena
refutability falsifiability Popper demarcation
2008/4/22
On the basis of the Suppes-Sneed structural view of sientific theories, we take a fresh look at the concept of refutability, which was famously proposed by K.R. Popper in 1934 as a criterion for the d...
Seeking Representations of Phenomena: Phenomenological Models
Models Phenomenological Models Theories Idealization
2008/4/22
I argue that phenomenological modeling can be better understood as a process that abides by theoretical constraints which are in constant interplay with experimentally determined results and progressi...
Experimental engineering models have been used both to model general phenomena, such as the onset of turbulence in fluid flow, as well as to predict the performance of machines of particular size and ...
Explaining New Phenomena in Terms of Previous Phenomena
particularism exemplar-based explanation
2008/4/11
It has become increasingly clear that natural phenomena cannot be formally deduced from laws
but that almost every phenomenon has its own particular way of being linked to higher-level
generalizatio...
Controlling Complex Phenomena with the Help of Opaque Models
complexity modeling epistemic opacity
2008/4/11
Simulations may manage to control complex phenomena while at the same time the models invoked remain epistemically opaque. Considering cases from astronomy and meteorology, it will be argued that simu...
Critical Phenomena and Breaking Drops: Infinite Idealizations in Physics
Thermodynamic Limit Scaling Theory Reduction
2008/4/11
Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics are related to one another through the so-called "thermodynamic limit'' in which, roughly speaking the number of particles becomes infinite. At critical points...
