Can Rationalist Abductivism Solve the Problem of Induction?
Laurence BonJour (1998) has recently proposed an a priori solution to the problem of induction. According to BonJour, it is necessarily true that explanations involving ordinary inductive conclusions are the best explanations of inductive premises, and we can be justified in believing this fact a priori. He contends that no empiricist account of justification that rejects or denigrates the a pr...
متن کاملthe problem of divine hiddenness
این رساله به مساله احتجاب الهی و مشکلات برهان مبتنی بر این مساله میپردازد. مساله احتجاب الهی مساله ای به قدمت ادیان است که به طور خاصی در مورد ادیان ابراهیمی اهمیت پیدا میکند. در ادیان ابراهیمی با توجه به تعالی خداوند و در عین حال خالقیت و حضور او و سخن گفتن و ارتباط شهودی او با بعضی از انسانهای ساکن زمین مساله ای پدید میاید با پرسشهایی از قبیل اینکه چرا ارتباط مستقیم ویا حداقل ارتباط وافی به ب...
15 صفحه اولCan Counterfactuals Solve the Exclusion Problem?
A quite popular approach to solving the Causal Exclusion Problem is to adopt a counterfactual theory of causation. In this paper, I distinguish three versions of the Causal Exclusion Argument. I argue that the counterfactualist approach can block the first two exclusion arguments, because the Causal Inheritance Principle and the Upward Causation Principle upon which the two arguments are based ...
متن کاملDoes Algorithmic Probability Solve the Problem of Induction?
We will begin with a definition of Algorithmic Probability (ALP), and discuss some of its properties. From these remarks it will become clear that it is extremely effective for computing probabilities of future events — the best technique we have. As such, it gives us an ideal theoretical solution to the problem of inductive inference. I say “theoretical” because any device as accurate as ALP m...
متن کاملCan groups solve the problem of over-bidding in contests?
This study reports an experiment that examines whether groups can better comply with theoretical predictions than individuals in contests. Our experiment replicates previous findings that individual players significantly overbid relative to theoretical predictions, incurring substantial losses. There is high variance in individual bids and strong heterogeneity across individual players. The new...
