This paper discusses one particularly simple correlation measure which is highly significant for almost any such attempt within the philosophy of science or epistemology. In particular, it shows how this correlation measure is related to central attempts to capture essent

But in that case MM violates one of the main desiderata of scientific explanation, namely explanatory asymmetry. Parts of Craver’s writings suggest a metaphy

By thinking along this line I use the example of the vibrating string model to identify the two kinds of idealizations that have been discerned by most philosophers to be pervasive in scientific modeling, which I label isolation and stabilization, and argue that they are the

For instance, if X is a set of theoretical entities that remains stable even over some scientific revolutions, this may be taken as support for convergent scientific realism about entities. Likewise, if X is a similarly stable set of structures of theories, this may be taken as support for (

Long-term retention across theory-change provides a poor basis at best (judging by examples like the ether of light); the same can be said about such features as empirical success and current freedom from
