How is it known that every number has a successor, that straight lines can intersect each other no more than once, that causes precede their events, and that the electron either went through the slit or it did not? In cases like these it is not easy to find observable evidence, and it is implausible to postulate special modes of intuitive access to the

Grünbaum on the Conventionality of Geometry
Synthese, 1972Physical geometry is an especially good case study for one interested in the problem of conventionalism in science for at least two reasons. First, there exist a large number of alternative geometrical theories which have all been extensively investigated.

Absolute Space and Conventionalism
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1979experiment in the context of a four-dimensional formulation of Newtonian theory. I will proceed by outlining a number of alternative global structures for Newtonian space-time. Corresponding to each structure is an appropriate Newtonian theory; namely, a theory whose postulates are appropriate mathematical variants of the postulates of Newtonian ...

Conventionalism and the indeterminacy of translation
Synthese, 1968Abstract Quine's deliberations on translation furnish the arguments for the authors’ rejection of the conception of alternative ‘conventions’, which are essential to the conventionalist characterization of logical truth.

L'A. defend la these selon laquelle le conventionnalisme defendu par Hermogene dans le «Cratyle» de Platon implique une approche conservatrice des noms et une legitimation des noms prives que Platon ne peut accepter dans sa recherche d'un critere pour l'exactitude des noms qui soit independant de toute convention.

Chapter 4’s case studies – Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) and You Might Be the Killer (2018) – illustrate how metamodern slasher films provide new insights by viewing conventional situations from idiosyncratic perspectives. Together, these case studies illuminate three attributes of the metamodern slasher film. First, conventions are

Legal Theory, 1998
There are two questions I would like to address in this article. The first and main question is whether there are rules of recognition, along the lines suggested by H.L.A. Hart. The second question concerns the age-old issue of the autonomy of law. One of the main purposes of this article is to show how these two issues are closely related. The concept

This chapter begins by briefly discussing the historical fortunes of conventionalism in logic and mathematics. After this, it clarifies the nature of conventionalism; critically discussing various ways to understand the view before arguing that conventionalism is best understood as an explanatory claim – logical and mathematical facts in any language ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses how empirical facts function restrictively to support a unique metric geometry as the true description of physical space. The chapter focuses on the respective roles of conventions and facts in the ascription of a particular metric geometry to physical space on the basis of measurements with a rigid body ...
