    Extractions: van Fraassen, Bas C. (1999) Structure: its shadow and substance. Full text available as: Adobe PDF (.pdf) On December 9, 1908 Max Planck addressed the Student Corps of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Leiden. His announced topic was The Unity of the Physical World-Picture , but the real intent was a polemic against a whole bevy of famous scientists who had turned against realism in the past fifty years. The debate concerning how science represents nature, and specifically whether it represents more than solely structural aspects of the phenomena, had begun earlier in the 19th century, and would continue for the remainder of the 20th I will discuss both the scientific motivations and the philosophical reactions, including scientific realism and the new Structural Realism, as well as offer an empiricist structuralist view as alternative. Keywords: structuralism, structural realism, scientific realism, constructive empiricism, representation Comments: This paper was presented at the University of Leiden in 1999, and revised as a contribution to a planned Festschrift in honor or Arthur Fine that is still in progress

22. PhilSci Archive: Science As Representation: Flouting The Criteria
    van fraassen, bas (2002) Science as RepresentationFlouting the Criteria. Full text available as  
    http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/documents/disk0/00/00/08/67/
    
    Extractions: Adobe PDF (.pdf) Science represents the phenomena and it does so by providing representations of nature with the phenomena at best as a part. Criteria of adequacy for a representation pertain to accuracy and truth; but that representation is selective and may require distortion even in the selected parameters is an old and familiar point, intimately related to the insight that representation is intentional with adequacy relative to its particular purpose. If we add to this that observation and measurement are perspectival and that the appearances to be saved are the perspectival measurement outcomes, the question whether this "saving" is an explanatory relation in contemporary physics can provide a new focus for the realist/anti-realist debate. The Born rule and von Neumann's "collapse" postulate in quantum mechanics provide a telling case. Keywords: philosophy of science; representation; realism/anti-realism; models and idealization

    Extractions: La parution du dernier livre de Bas van Fraassen, The Empirical Stance , nous paraît si important que nous y avons réservé un groupe de lecture. Van Fraassen reprend en considération des questions jamais obsolètes en philosophie des sciences, afin d'offrir au lecteur un nouveau programme pour renouveler la tradition empiriste. Le but de van Fraassen n'est pas de redéfinir l'empirisme comme une doctrine, mais plutôt comme une position en philosophie. Le projet est d'abord de critiquer et de montrer que la métaphysique classique n'est pas soutenable, et deuxièmement de focaliser l'attention sur l' expérience , qui requiert une approche volontariste de la croyance et de l'opinion.

Piet Hut is Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. While his main research area is theoretical astrophysics, part of his research involves multidisciplinary collaborations, from geology, paleontology and cognitive science to particle physics and computer science. Some of his current projects are related to the deflection of asteroids, through the B612 Foundation , the development of software systems large-scale simulations in astrophysics, through the MODEST initiative, and the GRAPE project of developing high-speed special purpose computers. piet@kira.org Roger N. Shepard is Ray Lyman Wilbur Professor of Social Science Emeritus in Stanford's Department of Psychology.

Quine's 'naturalized epistemology' and 'naturalized' versions of empiricism are not adequate to this task; Carnap's "Empiricism, semantics, and ontology" may contain a valuable clue, despite its apparent problems.

Discussion In front of me on the table sits a rectangular, chromium-plated metal frame. Suspended on very thin nylon threads hang 6 identical stainless steel balls, nicely in a row. I lift the leftmost ball 2 centimeters, and let it go. The ball falls back in place, hits its neighbor, and seemingly instantaneously the ball on the right end of the chain jumps up. The four balls in the middle seem not to have moved at all. The rightmost ball falls back, and for the next five minutes the first and the last ball repeat their alternating collisions with a periodic clicking sound. Someone asks: ‘why does the last ball gets almost to the same height as the first ball?” Many answers come into my mind:

The Jesuits were right in saying that Scripture without tradition is indefinitely flexible, and therefore cannot serve as a criterion for choice among alternative traditions. T. H. Green, Sellars, and Feyerabend were right to insist that experience without a descriptive vocabulary is blind, and thus incapable of providing a criterion for choice among alternative conceptual repertoires. Presumably van Fraassen would say that the emotions which were indispensable to effecting conversion from Catholicism to Protestantism were of the same sort as those that facilitated the switch from Aristotelian to Galilean descriptions of motion.
