The sky is blue, and other reasons quantum mechanics is not underdetermined by evidence
European Journal for Philosophy of Science - Tập 13 - Trang 1-29 - 2023
I criticize the widely-defended view that the quantum measurement problem is an example of underdetermination of theory by evidence: more specifically, the view that the unmodified, unitary quantum formalism (interpreted following Everett) is empirically indistinguishable from Bohmian Mechanics and from dynamical-collapse theories like the GRW or CSL theories. I argue that there as yet no empirica......

Pluralistic physicalism and the causal exclusion argument
European Journal for Philosophy of Science - Tập 2 - Trang 219-232 - 2011
There is a growing consensus among philosophers of science that scientific endeavors of understanding the human mind or the brain exhibit explanatory pluralism. Relatedly, several philosophers have in recent years defended an interventionist approach to causation that leads to a kind of causal pluralism. In this paper, I explore the consequences of these recent developments in philosophy of scienc......
Can discrete time make continuous space look discrete?
European Journal for Philosophy of Science - Tập 4 - Trang 19-30 - 2013
Van Bendegem has recently offered an argument to the effect that, if time is discrete, then there should exist a correspondence between the motions of massive bodies and a discrete geometry. On this basis, he concludes that, even if space is continuous, it should nonetheless appear discrete. This paper examines the two possible ways of making sense of that correspondence, and shows that in neither......

How do networks explain? A neo-hempelian approach to network explanations of the ecology of the microbiome
European Journal for Philosophy of Science - Tập 13 - Trang 1-26 - 2023
Despite the importance of network analysis in biological practice, dominant models of scientific explanation do not account satisfactorily for how this family of explanations gain their explanatory power in every specific application. This insufficiency is particularly salient in the study of the ecology of the microbiome. Drawing on Coyte et al. (2015) study of the ecology of the microbiome, Deul......
The modal status of the laws of nature. Tahko’s hybrid view and the kinematical/dynamical distinction
European Journal for Philosophy of Science - Tập 11 - Trang 1-15 - 2021
In a recent paper, Tuomas Tahko has argued for a hybrid view of the laws of nature, according to which some physical laws are metaphysically necessary, while others are metaphysically contingent. In this paper, we show that his criterion for distinguishing between these two kinds of laws — which crucially relies on the essences of natural kinds — is on its own unsatisfactory. We then propose an al......
Philosophy of interdisciplinarity. What? Why? How?
European Journal for Philosophy of Science - Tập 6 - Trang 327-342 - 2016
Compared to the massive literature from other disciplinary perspectives on interdisciplinarity (such as those from sociology, education, management, scientometrics), philosophy of science is only slowly beginning to pay systematic attention to this powerful trend in contemporary science. The paper provides some metaphilosophical reflections on the emerging “Philosophy of Interdisciplinarity” (PhID......
