Replies to Healey’s Comments Regarding van Fraassen’s Positions
Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective 9 (1):38-47 (2020)
Abstract
Healey (2019a) makes four comments on my (Park, 2019a) objections to van Fraassen’s positions. The four comments concern the issues of whether ‘disbelief’ is appropriate or inappropriate to characterize van Fraassen’s position, what the relationship between a theory and models is for van Fraassen, whether he believes or not that a theory is empirically adequate, and whether destructive empiricism is tenable or not. I reply to those comments in this paper.Author's Profile
