Synthetic Modeling and Mechanistic Account:Material Recombination and Beyond
Dynamic mechanistic explanations mathematical models synthetic models genetic circuits noise modularity integration
2016/5/30
Recently, Bechtel and Abrahamsen have argued that mathematical models study the dynamics of mechanisms by recomposing the components and their operations into an appropriately organized system. We wil...
Values in Science beyond Underdetermination and Inductive Risk
values in science science and values underdetermination inductive risk
2016/5/27
The thesis that the practice and evaluation of science requires social value-judgment, that good science is not value-free or value-neutral but value-laden, has been gaining acceptance among philosoph...
Making Sense of Modeling: Beyond Representation
models modeling use epistemic value fluid mechanics
2009/9/17
It has recently been aptly emphasized that how models are used is essential to what scientific models are. But the explanations of why and how a model is used or why a model is scientifically valuable...
Justifying Definitions in Mathematics—Going Beyond Lakatos
definitions in mathematics justification of definitions Lakatos mathematical reasoning
2009/4/27
This paper addresses the actual practice of justifying definitions in mathematics. First, I introduce the main account of this issue, namely Lakatos's proof-generated definitions. Based on a case stud...
Coherence, Consistency, and Cohesion: Clade Selection in Okasha and Beyond.
Cohesion Consistency Coherence
2008/4/22
Samir Okasha argues that clade selection is an incoherent concept, because the relation that constitutes clades is such that it renders parent-offspring (reproduction) relations between clades impossi...
Social epistemology of scientific inquiry: beyond historical vs. philosophical case studies
social epistemology scientific objectivity
2008/4/22
In this paper, I propose a new way to integrate historical accounts of social interaction in scientific practice with philosophical examination of scientific knowledge. The relation between descriptiv...
Formal Axiomatic method as exemplified in Hilbert’s Grundlagen der Geometrie is based on a
structuralist vision of mathematics and science according to which theories and objects of these
theories a...
Modelling Molecules: Beyond the Epistemic-Pragmatic Dichotomy
models explanation kinetic theory
2008/4/15
I argue that scientific explanation has a pragmatic dimension that is epistemically relevant. Philosophers with an objectivist approach to scientific explanation (e.g. Hempel, Trout) hold that the pra...
Complementarity and Uncertainty in Mach-Zehnder Interferometry and beyond
Complementarity principle uncertainty principle joint measurement
2008/4/10
A coherent account of the connections and contrasts between the principles of complementarity and uncertainty is developed starting from a survey of the various formalizations of these principles. The...
Bosonization and Iterative Relations Beyond Field Theories
proton electron asymmetry auto-renormalization
2008/4/10
Solitons can be well described by the Lagrange formalism of
effective field theories. But usually mass and coupling constants constitute phenomenological dimensions without any relation to the topolo...
Beyond Theoretical Reduction and Layer-Cake Antireduction: How DNA Retooled Genetics and Transformed Biological Practice
reduction reductionism theoretical reduction
2008/4/10
Watson and Crick’s discovery of the structure of DNA led to developments that transformed many biological sciences. But what were the relevant developments and how did they transform biology? Much of ...
From the beginnings of the biochemistry as discipline, the dichotomy between in vivo- in vitro conditions has been in the center of their methodological discussions. With the growing influence of comp...
Beyond the Baldwin Effect: James Mark Baldwin's 'social heredity', epigenetic inheritance and niche construction
James Mark Baldwin Beyond the Baldwin Effect
2008/4/10
argue that too much attention has been paid to the Baldwin effect. George Gaylord Simpson was probably right when he said that the effect is theoretically possible and may have actually occurred but ...
What can we conclude from a mere handful of case studies? The field of HPS has witnessed too many hasty philosophical generalizations based on a small number of conveniently chosen case studies. One m...
Chemical Research – 2000 and Beyond: Challenges and Visions, ed. by Paul Barkan, Oxford Univ. Pr., New York-Oxford, 1998, xiii + 218 pp. (ISBN: 0-8412-3575-9)
Chemical Research Challenges Visions
2008/4/7
In many fields, the millenium makes people reflecting upon past achievements, future objectives, and the basic principles of their own field. Such a reflection presupposes both the willingness and cap...
