Goodman’s only world
(Springer Netherlands, 2012)
An incorrect interpretation of Goodman’s theory of counterfactuals is persistently being offered in the literature. I find that strange. Even more so since the incorrectness is rather obvious. In this paper I try to figure ...
Putting the Cart Before the Horse: Co-evolution of the Universe and Observers as an Explanatory Hypothesis
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
The answer to the fine-tuning problem of the universe has been traditionally sought in terms of either design or multiverse. In philosophy circles, this is sometimes expanded by adding the option of explanatory nihilism-the ...
Scepticism, Externalism and Predictive Dimension of Knowledge Claims

Kuhn's incommensurability thesis: good examples still to be found

In The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn famously argued that scientific revolutions consist in paradigm shifts in which the superseded and the new paradigms are incommensurable. My aim in this paper is to ...
