KARL JASPERS FORUM TARGET ARTICLE 31 THE SHAM VICTORY OF ABSTRACTION (Review of Feyerabend, Conquest of Abundance*) by Bas C. van Fraassen 23 June 2000*, posted 24 October 2000 *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:

64. Piet Hut: World Views an introduction to the orientation of the Kira Institute, which I wrote with mycolleagues Roger Shepard, Steven Tainer, bas van fraassen, and Arthur Zajonc. http://www.ids.ias.edu/~piet/act/nat/views/

You are here: Home Activities Natural Philosophy World Views World Views A scientific analysis of the world can give a very accurate account of the play of matter and energy that we witness around us, but it does so from a purely objective point of view. It is not clear whether such an account covers all basis. Certainly it doesn't do so at present. Will a future science be able to give a full account of consciousness? And if it can do so, will that mean that subjective experience can somehow be reduced to a particular form of objectivity? We do not know the answers to those questions. And as long as we don't know, it is wise to explore what type of alternatives there are to purely scientific world views. Are there other ways that are equally convincing as the scientific approach? Many scientists reject non-scientific views of the world as based mostly on speculation or tradition or wishful thinking. This, however, may be based more on a lack of familiarity than anything else. If the only access we had to science would be through popular descriptions, science would be a lot less convincing too. The problem is that it takes time, quite a lot of time, to probe into a different world view to the extent that one can begin to get a feeling of what it is all about. To get that feeling for science, it takes at least a few years of undergraduate studies, and a few years of grad school, where you start doing original research, would be much better. And all of that follows familiarity and training through what one has earlier heard in high school and before. In contrast to all the hours that we are exposed to information about science, we normally receive hardly any in-depth information about philosophical systems or non-western world views. No wonder that a comparison seems so difficult to make.

67. Scientific Realism bas van fraassen is known for his arguments against scientific realism, particularlyfor his argument that it is a mistake to suppose that the aim of science http://www.shef.ac.uk/~phil/courses/312/11realism.htm

Scientific Realism Realism is a very popular name , and in consequence one must be cautious about taking different ‘realisms’ to have anything significant in common. I shall distinguish two realist views, labelling them ontological realism and epistemological realism . (Note: These correspond to what Peter Carruthers and I call realism of intent and realism of fact in The Philosophy of Psychology , ch.2.) Ontological realism [OR] is to be contrasted with instrumentalism or phenomenalism (the idea that scientific theories should merely aim to ‘save the phenomena’). According to OR, scientific theories really do postulate the existence of (previously) unobservable entities and forces. The critique of the positivist dichotomy between the observable and the unobservable is important to OR, which takes the view that the fact that some things are observable and others are not is simply a consequence of the human situation; and that new instruments can make things that were previously unobservable available to observation. OR is a claim about the ontological commitments of theories, not about whether theories are

`Covering law' model van verklaringen Een verklaring is een redenering waarin natuurwetten een essentieel ingredi nt vormen. Deductief-Nomologisch model (Carl Hempel) deductieve redenering met natuurwet(-ten) als premisse met randcondities als premisse met explanandum als conclusie voorbeeld: water kookt bij 100 graden deze ketel water is verhit tot boven de 100 graden deze ketel water kookt Verklaringen van zowel individuele verschijnselen als van wetmatigheden. Problemen met het D-N model symmetrie relevantie wetten niet altijd nodig `pre-emption' overdeterminatie Causaal model van verklaringen (Wesley Salmon) Het geven van een verklaring van een verschijnsel is het aanwijzen van de oorzaak ervan (of de causale keten die tot het verschijnsel leidt). Dit lost alle bovenstaande problemen van het D-N model op. Problemen met het causale model `causaliteit' is net zo problematisch als `verklaring' zelf niet-causale verklaringen: verklaringen van wetmatigheden verklaringen door identificatie verklaringen door analogie n Unificatiemodel van verklaringen (Philip Kitcher, Michael Friedman)

(Sílvio Seno Chibeni) O Quebra-Cabeça do "Método Científico" (Susan Haack) Discussions Reviews Doubting the Sceptic Marco A. Frangiotti Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina This article aims at showing that contemporary attempts to rehabilitate Pyrrhonian scepticism do not hold water. I claim that a sceptic of this trend gets stuck in two major dilemmas. The first regards her object of investigation. I argue that, if she holds that her object of investigation is the non-evident truth, she will not be able to distance herself from dogmatism. In turn, if she holds that she seeks to establish sense data propositions, she will not be able to pose herself as an investigator. The second dilemma stems from the sceptical attempt to wipe out dogmatism by developing arguments to the effect that no (dogmatic) proof exists. I contend that those arguments can be viewed either as "good" arguments, in which case the sceptic will be considered just another theorist in possession of an explanation; or as expendable devices, in which case the sceptic will be incapable of carrying out her anti-dogmatic programme. Either way the sceptical position crumbles. Claude Bernard, Charles Darwin y Los Dos Modos Fundamentales de Interrogar lo Viviente

Friday 1 November, 11.15, 3E 4.17 David Peat Pari Centre for New Learning, Pari, Italy "From Certainty to Uncertainty: the story of Science and Ideas in the Twentieth Century" David Peat is theoretical physicist and author of some twenty books dealing with science and ideas. He has also scripted and presented scientific topics on radio and television in Canada. In this talk he will discuss the revolutions in scientific thinking that took place during the twentieth century and ways of presenting those ideas to a general public.

His rejection of inference to the best explanation leads his realist critics to argue that his position is no more defensible than scepticism about the external world and induction. If common sense implicates us not only in realism about everyday objects but also in a commitment to the rationality of inductive reasoning, then it is argued, it similarly commits us to realism about science.

Quantum-mechanically, a gauge potential lays claim to represent an independent aspect of its associated interaction. But it is not clear what this is like or how it is most faithfully represented mathematically. I shall argue that in the theory of electromagnetism (or a non-Abelian generalization) that describes quantum particles subject to a classical interaction, the gauge potential is best understood as a global feature of the physical situation, represented by the holonomies of closed curves in space-time.
