Pluralismo Metodológico, Incomensurabilidade E O Status Científico Do Conhecimento Tradicional, Hugh Lacey
Pluralismo Metodológico, Incomensurabilidade E O Status Científico Do Conhecimento Tradicional, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
Cultural values may constructively have impact on scientific practices, and lead to legitimate culture-based variations in approaches to them. It follows that traditional or indigenous knowledge need not stand opposed to scientific knowledge, and only investigation on a case-by-case basis can establish whether or not the cognitive credentials of particular traditional knowledge claims are adequate or deficient. Building on an analysis of how different methodological strategies may both compete and complement one another, I argue that what is defensible about Thomas Kuhn's notion of incommensurability, and the possibility of the sound scientific status of traditional knowledge, have the same source. …
Reflections On Science And Technoscience, Hugh Lacey
Reflections On Science And Technoscience, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
Technoscientific research, a kind of scientific research conducted within the decontextualized approach (DA), uses advanced technology to produce instruments, experimental objects, and new objects and structures, that enable us to gain knowledge of states of affairs of novel domains, especially knowledge about new possibilities of what we can do and make, with the horizons of practical, industrial, medical or military innovation, and economic growth and competition, never far removed from view. The legitimacy of technoscientific innovations can be appraised only in the course of considering fully what sorts of objects technoscientific objects are: objects that embody scientific knowledge confirmed within …

A Puzzle About Responsibility A Problem And Its Contextualist Solution, Peter Baumann
A Puzzle About Responsibility A Problem And Its Contextualist Solution, Peter Baumann
Philosophy Faculty Works
This paper presents a puzzle about moral responsibility. The problem is based upon the indeterminacy of relevant reference classes as applied to action. After discussing and rejecting a very tempting response I propose moral contextualism instead, that is, the idea that the truth value of judgments of the form "S is morally responsible for x" depends on and varies with the context of the attributor who makes that judgment. Even if this reply should not do all the expected work it is a first step.
Empiricism, Stances, And The Problem Of Voluntarism, Peter Baumann
Empiricism, Stances, And The Problem Of Voluntarism, Peter Baumann
Philosophy Faculty Works
Classical empiricism leads to notorious problems having to do with the (at least prima facie) lack of an acceptable empiricist justification of empiricism itself. Bas van Fraassen claims that his idea of the "empirical stance" can deal with such problems. I argue, however, that this view entails a very problematic form of voluntarism which comes with the threat of latent irrationality and normative inadequacy. However, there is also a certain element of truth in such a voluntarism. The main difficulty consists in finding an acceptable form of voluntarism.

A Imparcialidade Da Ciência E As Responsabilidades Dos Cientistas, Hugh Lacey
A Imparcialidade Da Ciência E As Responsabilidades Dos Cientistas, Hugh Lacey
Philosophy Faculty Works
This article, making use of a distinction between endorsing and accepting a claim, discusses the responsibilities that scientists incur in the light of the necessity to act, formulate policy, and to design regulations pertinent to technoscientific innovations, when decisions will inevitably be based, in important part, on claims that are only endorsed (and so implicated in compromises with ethical/social values), and not accepted in accordance with impartiality. Then, after introducing the notion of "impartial investigation", I conclude that the central responsibility of scientists is to engage in impartial investigation, and that this requires, not the exclusion of ethical and social …

Simulation-Based Definitions Of Emergence, Alan Richard Baker
Simulation-Based Definitions Of Emergence, Alan Richard Baker
Philosophy Faculty Works
One approach to characterizing the elusive notion of emergence is to define that a property is emergent if and only if its presence can be derived but only by simulation. In this paper I investigate the pros and cons of this approach, focusing in particular on whether an appropriately distinct boundary can be drawn between simulation-based and non-simulation-based methods. I also examine the implications of this definition for the epistemological role of emergent properties in prediction and in explanation.
