Aim-Oriented Empiricism Since 1984
In From Knowledge to Wisdom: A Revolution for Science and the Humanities. Pentire Press (2007)
Abstract
This chapter outlines improvements and developments made to aim-oriented empiricism since "From Knowledge to Wisdom" was first published in 1984. It argues that aim-oriented empiricism enables us to solve three fundamental problems in the philosophy of science: the problems of induction and verisimilitude, and the problem of what it means to say of a physical theory that it is unified.Author's Profile
