Just accepted: Kinematical Equivalence and Cosmic Conspiracies – Caspar Jacobs & Eleanor March Abstract in alt text or read it here: www.journals.uchicago.edu…. #philsci #philsky
ABSTRACT. Discussions of theoretical equivalence typically only concern a theory's dynamically possible models. Recently, however, March has shown that a theory's kinematically possible models are also relevant to questions of theoretical equivalence. We apply March's notion of kinematic equivalence to the difference between reduced and sophisticated theories introduced by Dewar. Although Dewar claims that these are equivalent, Jacobs has argued that only sophisticated theories can explain what are otherwise `cosmic conspiracies'. We show that this is a consequence of the kinematical inequivalence of reduced and sophisticated theories. Furthermore, we use Caulton's `downwards Hume's dictum' to show that kinematically inequivalent theories are also ontologically inequivalent.

Also to clarify hyper-relativism claims that relativism (and therefore universalism) is relative. But then it claims "relativism and universalism are relative" is relative and so on. #philsci #philosophy

Intersubjective relativism isn't quite normo-relativism but is also closer to it than hypo-relativism. #philsci #philosophy (3-end)

Truth, knowledge, etc. become indefinite under hyper-relativism. Then you have normo-relativism or relativism before the charge of self-refutation and self-exemption. Then you have hypo-relativism or new relativism that is less global and more local in nature. #philsci #philosophy (2)

I also developed another version of relativism and a new way of categorizing different forms of relativism. They are hyper-relativism, normo-relativism, and hypo-relativism. Hyper-relativism relativizes relativism, relativizes that relativization, and so on indefinitely. #philsci #philosophy (1)

The inductive argument for relativism is also subjective and intersubjective. It's not so much that relativism is universally true as it is intersubjectively true and justified with intersubjective experiences and inductive reasoning. #philsci 2/2

I developed a new version of relativism and it's called intersubjective relativism. It claims that our empirical observations that there are different and multiple cultures is subjective and intersubjective. #philsci 1/2

I want to retain the majority of the content of modern science while replacing its underlying philosophy with holism, relationalism, observational studies, observational studies of artificial systems in labs, place-based knowledge,... #philsci 1/2

OTD in 1838, Charles Darwin read Malthus’s Principles of Population “for amusement.” The idea of a “war of nature” was venerable, but D realized that such a war would tend to remove deleterious variations from populations. Natural selection would necessarily follow. 🌱🐋🧪#HistSTM #philsci 📈📉#evolbio
