At time, was a philosophical theory scientific reasoning rival to falsificationism. While it claimed account for important aspects in empirical science solve difficulties such as Duhem’s Problem or Hempel’s Raven Paradox, it hardly used by scientists themselves faced its ow...

Numerical Simulation and Parametric Study of Hartmann- Sprenger Tube Based Powered Device
Numerical simulations of unsteady flow in a Hartmann resonance tube are carried out with the goal of understanding the effect of jet Mach number on the flow characteristics. The device, which consists of a convergent nozzle facing a closed end tube produces a nearly normal shock that fluctuates in the gap between the nozzle and the tube. Numerical solutions were obtained for the unsteady Reynol...
متن کاملThe Bayesian Approach to the Philosophy of Science
The posthumous publication, in 1763, of Thomas Bayes’ “Essay Towards Solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances” inaugurated a revolution in the understanding of the confirmation of scientific hypotheses—two hundred years later.

The development and growth of science is based on method. Aristotle treated this issue seriously and formulated logic. Muslim thinkers accepted the comprehensibility of his idea and during some centuries developed it and exported to the west. During the last three centuries of the Middle Ages the issue of method was followed up seriously and induction enjoyed more importance. The scientific ...
متن کاملPhilosophy of Science and Philosophy of Chemistry
In this paper I assess the relation between philosophy of chemistry and (general) philosophy of science, focusing on those themes in the philosophy of chemistry that may bring about major revisions or extensions of current philosophy of science. Three themes can claim to make a unique contribution to philosophy of science: first, the variety of materials in the (natural and artificial) world; s...
متن کاملLUC BOVENS and STEPHAN HARTMANN WHY THERE CANNOT BE A SINGLE PROBABILISTIC MEASURE OF COHERENCE
Bayesian Coherence Theory of Justification or, for short, Bayesian Coherentism, is characterized by two theses, viz. (i) that our degree of confidence in the content of a set of propositions is positively affected by the coherence of the set, and (ii) that coherence can be characterized in probabilistic terms. There has been a longstanding question of how to construct a measure of coherence. We...
