[edit] Book of Evidence
What is required for something to be evidence for an hypothesis? The distinguished philosopher of science Peter Achinstein introduces here a basic concept of 'potential' evidence which is characterized using a novel epistemic interpretation of probability.
What is required for something to be evidence for an hypothesis? The distinguished philosopher of science Peter Achinstein introduces here a basic concept of 'potential' evidence which is characterized using a novel epistemic interpretation of probability. The resulting theory is applied to a range of philosophical and historical issues, including the 'grue' and 'raven' paradoxes; whether explanation or predictions provide more evidential weight; scientific discovery; whether Jean Perrin had non-circular evidence for molecules; and whether J.J. Thomson really discovered the electron.
