  • Epistemology and the Wikipedia
    Magnus, P.D. (2006-08)

    Magnus, P.D. (2003-03)
    The underdetermination of theory by evidence is supposed to be a reason to rethink science. It is not. Many authors claim that underdetermination has momentous consequences for the status of scientific claims, but such ...
