    Extractions: Friday, 9.00-10.40 This class provides an introduction to decision theory and the philosophy of explanation as these may provide a grounding for the social sciences. The first two parts take these subjects in turn, then in the third part we will employ them in the study of explanation and justification of rational human behavior. Grades in this class are based on seminar activity and final essay. [Below, required readings are marked by “*”.] I. DECISION THEORY In the first part of this course we will both examine models of central interest in formal decision theory, and consider them from the point of view of the philosophy of the social sciences.

    THE SHAM VICTORY OF ABSTRACTION (Review of Feyerabend, Conquest of Abundance*) bybas C. van fraassen 23 June 2000*, posted 24 October 2000. bas C. van fraassen.  
    http://www.douglashospital.qc.ca/fdg/kjf/31-TAFRA.htm
    
    Extractions: *Conquest of Abundance*, as the late Paul Feyerabend tells us in his Preface, was the book he promised his wife, Grazia. He did not live to complete it. But Bert Terpstra has ably edited the manuscript and supplemented it with a selection of Feyerabend's last publications, and Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend has added a touching, insightful preface. The book itself is a work of such abundance that a review is likely to remain idiosyncratically selective, pathetically illustrating Feyerabend's theme - the impoverishing consequences of academic attention. Feyerabend is generally credited (if that is the word) with introducing the notion of *incommensurability* - the idea that the theories held before and after a conceptual revolution, the very language in which they are stated, and the values they uphold, are so different that they are literally incommensurable, ie incomparable. How can scientists immersed in distinct "paradigms" (in Thomas Kuhn's terms) even communicate, let alone pass from one paradigm to another? In Feyerabend's considered view, already expressed in *Against Method* and made trenchantly clear in *Conquest of Abundance*, that puzzle is itself a central example of how academics, caught up in their own abstractions, become enmeshed in self generated problems. The culprit in this case is their woefully inadequate, oversimplified, 'idealized', distorting model of language. Here is the verdict in his own words:

    Extractions: C'est un paradoxe : la vulgarisation scientifique renforce chez le profane le sentiment d'une science savante et difficile, excessivement technique, que le spécialiste ne pourrait justement que lui présenter sous une forme vulgaire. Quant aux réflexions consacrées aux enjeux politiques, éthiques et sociaux de la recherche et de ses applications, elles alimentent souvent le lieu commun d'une science aride et froide, inhospitalière et dangereuse. L'opposition des sciences " dures " aux sciences " humaines " hérite de ces préjugés, comme si les sciences de la nature ne pouvaient être qu' " inhumaines ", et les sciences de l'homme étrangères à la vraie rigueur. Pourtant, dans les quartiers des philosophes, des historiens, des anthropologues ou des sociologues, se dessine depuis quelque temps un tout autre rapport du discours des sciences humaines à la réalité des sciences dures. Les philosophes prêtent une attention plus soutenue aux opérations concrètes de la pensée scientifique, tandis que les sciences sociales s'efforcent, sous la bannière des science studies , de présenter les sciences comme le résultat d'un processus de fabrication inséré dans le fonctionnement de la société.

    Extractions: A CRITIQUE OF VAN FRAASSEN'S VOLUNTARISTIC EPISTEMOLOGY Jonathan L. Kvanvig Abstract: Van Fraassen's epistemology is forged from two commitments, one to a type of Bayesianism and the other to what he terms voluntarism. Van Fraassen holds that if one is going to follow a rule in belief revision, it must be a Bayesian rule, but that one does not need to follow a rule in order to be rational. It is argued that van Fraassen's arguments for rejecting non-Bayesian rules is unsound, and that his voluntarism is subject to a fatal dilemma arising from the non-monotonic character of reasoning. Text: Van Fraassen outlines his epistemology [i] in response to the question whether there can be rational ampliative belief, rational belief the holding of which is not entailed by one's evidence. His positive answer to this question results from embracing two theses, a Bayesian one and a "voluntarist" one. They are: Bayesianism: If one follows an epistemic rule of obligation in changing one's degrees of belief, that rule must be a Bayesian rule, such as conditionalization. Voluntarism: Changes in one's degrees of belief can be rational even if one is following no epistemic rule of obligation in making those changes.

    Extractions: REMARKS ON VAN FRAASSEN My main purpose is to situate VF's chapter on causality and explanation within the wider framework of the work we have been examining. After that, I will note certain relations between causality and probability relations which VF discusses in passing, since they are of interest for later parts of the course. For starters, it's good to have VF's general viewpoint on the table: "To be an empiricist is to withhold belief in anything that goes beyond the actual, observable phenomena, and to recognize no objective modality in nature. To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable. Since scientific activity is an enormously rich and complex cultural phenomenon, this account of science must be accompanied by auxiliary theories about scientific explanation, conceptual commitment, modal language, and much else. But it must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise" ( The Scientific Image , pp. 202-203).
