It's a criticism of Intelligent Design theory, from the point of view of philosophy of science.<br />Part I: on the mistaken notion of 'explanation' underlying Dembski's 'explanatory filter'<br />Part II: on 'No free lunch theorems' and the connection between theories and data<br />Part III: Intelligent design vs. real scientific research.<br /><br /><a title="View Evolution, Empiricism &amp;amp; Purpose 1.

This was a radically new way of conceiving social realities: as systems of rules that govern a small section of society, and that often can be manipulated in search of a better result. I have intended to apply that approach to understand <a href="http://www.uned.es/dpto_log/jpzb/docs/2006%20THE%20ECONOMICS%20OF%20SCIENTIFIC%20KNOWLEDGE.pdf">how science works</a> in its epistemic aspects (see, e.g., my papers on <a href="http://www.uned.es/dpto_log/jpzb/docs/2006%20RHETORIC,%20INDUCTION,%20AND%20FREE%20SPEECH%20DILEMMA.pdf">scientific inference</a>, <a href="http://www.uned.es/dpto_log/jpzb/docs/2006%20RHETORIC,%20INDUCTION,%20AND%20FREE%20SPEECH%20DILEMMA.pdf">scientific rhetoric</a> -both published in <span style="font-style: italic;">Philosophy of Science</span>- and on a<a href="http://www.uned.es/dpto_log/jpzb/docs/2006%20SCIENCE%20STUDIES%20AND%20THE%20THEORY%20OF%20GAMES.pdf"> game theoretic approach to science studies</a> -in <span style="font-style: italic;">Perspectives on Science</span>-; a less technical <a href="http://www.uned.es/dpto_log/jpzb/docs/2006%20SCIENCE%20AS%20A%20PERSUASION%20GAME.pdf">introduction</a> appeared in <span style="font-style: italic;">Episteme</span>).<br />If you are a young philosopher or sociologist of science looking for a promising and radically new research field, combining the insights of social constructionist, and of rationalist approaches, why don't try to build a mechanism design view of science?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4111839093111712897-5706053998057722878?l=ottoneurathsboat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesús Zamora Bonillanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111839093111712897.post-19654744158470961092007-10-17T14:55:00.000-07:002007-10-17T15:00:10.941-07:00We are going to sail the seas on board of Otto Neurath's ship.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4111839093111712897-1965474415847096109?l=ottoneurathsboat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesús Zamora Bonillanoreply@blogger.com0
