Couverture de l’ouvrage Heuristic Reasoning

How can we advance knowledge? Which methods do we need in order to make new discoveries? How can we rationally evaluate, reconstruct and offer discoveries as a means of improving the ?method? of discovery itself? And how can we use findings about scientific discovery to boost funding policies, thus fostering a deeper impact of scientific discovery itself?

The respective chapters in this book provide readers with answers to these questions. They focus on a set of issues that are essential to the development of types of reasoning for advancing knowledge, such as models for both revolutionary findings and paradigm shifts; ways of rationally addressing scientific disagreement, e.g. when a revolutionary discovery sparks considerable disagreement inside the scientific community; frameworks for both discovery and inference methods; and heuristics for economics and the social sciences.

A reappraisal.- Are Heuristics Knowledge-Enhancing?Abduction, Models, and Fictions in Science.- Heuristic Appraisal at the Frontier of Research.- Why do Scientific Revolutions begin?.- Withstanding Tensions: Scientific Disagreement and Epistemic Tolerance.- Heuristics as Methods:  Validity, Reliability and Velocity.- Dynamic generation of hypotheses: Mandelbrot, Soros and Far-From-Equilibrium.
