The undertakers of Metaphysics - Context distinction
3 important questions on The undertakers of Metaphysics - Context distinction
What is the traditional reading of Reichenbach?
Context of discovery versus context of justification as temporal distinction. The distinction is unuseful: discovery processes are complex processes where there are a lot of hypotheses and their testing requires creativity. The complexity of problem solving is oversimplified
Epistemology according to Reichenbach? Why not Philosophical
It is part of sociology, because it is descriptive. POS should be normative (Vienna). Normative is 'rational reconstruction' (how it should be) of relation data. Hypothesis; Reichenbach does not preclude a 'rational reconstructism' of discovery processes.
