The Poverty of Empiricism
Many researchers – and their advisors on research method – adopt a doctrine called empiricism, which claims that researchers may only use empirical methods. This restrictive doctrine impoverishes any academic discipline where it is dominant. The main reason is that a discipline only qualifies for the status of a science after it has progressed beyond empirical generalisations to explanatory the...
متن کاملThe Refutation of Idealism
Modern Idealism, if it asserts any general conclusion about the universe at all, asserts that it is spiritual. There are two points about this assertion to which I wish to call attention. These points are that, whatever be its exact meaning, it is certainly meant to assert (1) that the universe is very different indeed from what it seems, and (2) that it has quite a large number of properties w...
متن کاملOn Learning versus Refutation
Building on the work of Daniely et al. (STOC 2014, COLT 2016), we study the connection between computationally efficient PAC learning and refutation of constraint satisfaction problems. Specifically, we prove that for every concept class P, PAC-learning P is polynomially equivalent to “random-right-hand-side-refuting” (“RRHS-refuting”) a dual class P∗, where RRHS-refutation of a class Q refers ...

Arguments to this effect have been most famously and successfully championed by William Rowe. 1 His defense of the argument has developed over the years, but the basics of the argument...

As far as possible they try to avoid any reference to abstract entities and to restrict themselves to what is sometimes called a nominalisti...
