| 书目名称 | Inquiry as Inquiry: A Logic of Scientific Discovery | | 编辑 | Jaakko Hintikka | | 视频video | | | 丛书名称 | Jaakko Hintikka Selected Papers | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | Is a genuine logic of scientific discovery possible? In theessays collected here, Hintikka not only defends an affirmativeanswer; he also outlines such a logic. It is the logic of questionsand answers. Thus inquiry in the sense of knowledge-seeking becomesinquiry in the sense of interrogation. Using this new logic, Hintikkaestablishes a result that will undoubtedly be considered thefundamental theorem of all epistemology, .viz.., the virtualidentity of optimal strategies of pure discovery with optimaldeductive strategies. Questions to Nature, of course, must includeobservations and experiments. Hintikka shows, in fact, how the logicof experimental inquiry can be understood from the interrogativevantage point. Other important topics examined include induction (in aforgotten sense that has nevertheless played a role in science),explanation, the incommensurability of theories, theory-ladenness ofobservations, and identifiability. | | 出版日期 | Book 1999 | | 关键词 | epistemology; knowledge; logic; reason; science; scientific discovery; semantics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-9313-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-5139-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-9313-7 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 1999 |
