Indeterminism and epistemic relativization
Philosophy of Science 44 (2):199-202 (1977)
| Abstract | Carl G. Hempel's doctrine of essential epistemic relativization of inductive-statistical explanation seems to entail the unintelligibility of the notion of objective homogeneity of reference classes. This discussion note explores the question of whether, as a consequence, essential epistemic relativization also entails the unintelligibility of the doctrine of indeterminism | |||||||||
