Perilous thoughts: comment on van Fraassen
Philosophical Studies 143 (1):25-32 (2009)
Abstract
Bas van Fraassen’s empiricist reading of Perrin’s achievement invites the question: whose doubts about atoms did Perrin put to rest? This comment recontextualizes the argument and applies the notion of empirical grounding to some contemporary work in behavioral biology.Author's Profile
