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 ...
Logic for the theory of concepts2
(Univerzitet u Novom Sadu - Filozofski fakultet - Odsek za filozofiju, Novi Sad, 2020)
In this paper, we follow Gödel's remarks on an envisioned theory of concepts to determine which properties should a logical basis of such a theory have. The discussion is organized around the question of suitability of the ...
Optimal research team composition: data envelopment analysis of Fermilab experiments
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2016)
We employ data envelopment analysis on a series of experiments performed in Fermilab, one of the major high-energy physics laboratories in the world, in order to test their efficiency (as measured by publication and citation ...
Kuhn's incommensurability thesis: good examples still to be found
(Warsaw Univ, Inst Philosophy, Warsaw, 2019)
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Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn famously argued that scientific revolutions consist in paradigm shifts in which the superseded and the new paradigms are incommensurable.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 ...
Experimenter's regress argument, empiricism, and the calibration of the large hadron collider
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
H. Collins has challenged the empiricist understanding of experimentation by identifying what he thinks constitutes the experimenter's regress: an instrument is deemed good because it produces good results, and vice versa. ...
The Roots of Empathy: A Lesson from Psychoanalysis
(Elsevier Science BV, Amsterdam, 2011)
Despite considerable improvement in our understanding of empathy and its development, most contemporary empathy theories still do not provide a sufficiently detailed picture of the developmental mechanisms involved in ...
Emergence of complementarity and the Baconian roots of Niels Bohr's method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
I argue that instead of a rather narrow focus on N. Bohr's account of complementarity as a particular and perhaps obscure metaphysical or epistemological concept (or as being motivated by such a concept), we should consider ...
Causation and Its Basis in Fundamental Physics
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2014)
How Theories of Induction Can Streamline Measurements of Scientific Performance
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2020)
We argue that inductive analysis (based on formal learning theory and the use of suitable machine learning reconstructions) and operational (citation metrics-based) assessment of the scientific process can be justifiably ...
