NEUKONČENÝ PROJEKT TRANSPARENTNEJ INTENZIONÁLNEJ LOGIKY

Igor Hanzel

Filozofia (Philosophy) > 2019 > 74 > 2 > 126 – 138

In my paper I present a new view on the Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL), namely, from the point of view of Carnap’s so-called logic of science understood by him as logic of the language of science and, to be more specific, logic of the language of empirical science. First, I present Carnap’s project of the logic of science and show that it was not realized on the basis of Carnap’s semantics of...

Why Psychology Cannot be an Empirical Science

Jan Smedslund

Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science > 2016 > 50 > 2 > 185-195

The current empirical paradigm for psychological research is criticized because it ignores the irreversibility of psychological processes, the infinite number of influential factors, the pseudo-empirical nature of many hypotheses, and the methodological implications of social interactivity. An additional point is that the differences and correlations usually found are much too small to be useful in...

The Outward‐Looking Modeler: Adding Empirical Science to Risk

The Failure of Risk Management > How to Fix It > 221 - 239

This chapter focuses on outward looking modeler who ultimately adds risk to empirical science by creating a complex. Too often, a model of reality takes on a reality of its own. The users of the model are likely eventually to adopt it as the truth. Modelers show that most of them are outward looking only to the extent that they bring subject matter experts (SMEs) into a workshop to discuss the model...

Jaké je to být hyperempatikem? : Příspěvek empirické vědy k subjektivní zkušenosti

Marek Havlík

Filosofický časopis (Philosophical Journal) > 2015 > 63 > 4 > 501-518

This study deals with the relationship between empirical science and subjective experience, and provides a critical approach to the distinction between the easy problems and the hard problem of consciousness. The paper treats this distinction as a misleading one because it divides the problem of subjective experience from reasonable thought. According to this distinction, the efforts of the empirical...

Fish Welfare in Aquaculture: Explicating the Chain of Interactions Between Science and Ethics

Bernice Bovenkerk, Franck L. B. Meijboom

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2013 > 26 > 1 > 41-61

Aquaculture is the fastest growing animal-production sector in the world. This leads to the question how we should guarantee fish welfare. Implementing welfare standards presupposes that we know how to weigh, define, and measure welfare. While at first glance these seem empirical questions, they cannot be answered without ethical reflection. Normative assumptions are made when weighing, defining,...

Nauki empiryczne i warsztat badawczy katechetyków

Anna Walulik

Studia Katechetyczne > 2013 > 9 > 169-179

Podstawą badań empirycznych jest doświadczenie. Humanistyka mówiąc o codziennych doświadczeniach, odwołuje się zarówno do badanych przedmiotów, jak i badacza. Na skutek przemy¬ślenia i medytacji nad zjawiskami staje się ono wewnętrznym ujęciem rzeczywistości, co w konsekwencji prowadzi do poszukiwania ich sensu. W teologii podstawowe doświadczenia człowieka stanowią jakby „bramę” dla Ducha „przy¬chodzącego”...

Keeping things in perspective

Catherine Z. Elgin

Philosophical Studies > 2010 > 150 > 3 > 439-447

Scientific realism holds that scientific representations are utterly objective. They describe the way the world is, independent of any point of view. In Scientific Representation, van Fraassen argues otherwise. If science is to afford an understanding of nature, it must be grounded in evidence. Since evidence is perspectival, science cannot vindicate its claims using only utterly objective representations...

Is Psychology Based on a Methodological Error?

Michael Schwarz

Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science > 2009 > 43 > 3 > 185-213

It is believed a proven fact that variables in social and personality psychology match to normal distribution with its single peak. Multiple peaks are explained by independent variables. However, after a comprehensive data analysis of more than 8.000 patients and on the basis of a bio-psycho-social model with 27 scales, we arrived at the conclusion that normal distribution and the psychometric error...

HRUŠOVSKÉHO ANALÝZY VÝVINU VEDECKÉHO POZNANIA

Jozef Viceník, Milan Zigo

Filozofia (Philosophy) > 2009 > 64 > 10 > 949-959

The article deals with the comprehensibility of the model of empirical science (i.e. the model of hypothetical confirmationism) in Hrusovsky's writings. Further, it examines Hrusovsky's conception of the development of scientific knowledge as related to his concept of 'radical revision' (corresponding to scientific revolution). The authors draw mainly from books written by Hrusovsky in 1935 - 1948.

Analysis of Structural Change Point in Multivariate Regression Models: An Application on IT Productivity Impact

S.K. Poon, G. Fan, J. Poon, R. Young

2008 IEEE 8th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology Workshops > 583 - 588

2008 IEEE 8th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology Workshops. CIT Workshops 2008

In many fields of empirical science, theories have been proposed arguing that behavioral relationships change over time. There are many possible ways in which parameters of regression models are assumed to change. With better understanding of how parameters change, estimation and testing procedures for various structural changes can be developed. This paper uses an exploratory way by augmenting the...

An “Empirical Science” of Literature

Edmund Nierlich

Journal for General Philosophy of Science > 2005 > 36 > 2 > 351-376

Summary In this article the outlines are sketched of an empirical science of literature as close as possible to the model of the natural sciences. This raises the question of what the standards of an empirical science in the strictest sense should generally be. Practical relevance of its results soon turns up as the fundamental condition for an explanatory empirical science, if the ideology of nearing...
