Can Alternative Scientific Theories Challenge Scientific Rationality?
Axiomathes, 2020One of the reasons for relativistic attitudes toward science is the impossibility of justifying scientists’ decisions in the face of alternative theories.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, philosophers of science have asked, “what kind of thing is a scientific theory?” The logical positivists answered: a scientific theory is a mathematical theory, plus an empirical interpretation of that theory. They also assumed that a mathematical theory is specified by a set of axioms in a formal language.

This book is about the methods used for unifying different scientific theories under one all-embracing theory. The process has characterized much of the history of science and is prominent in contemporary physics; the search for a 'theory of everything' involves the same attempt at unification.

An Abductive Theory of Scientific Method
Psychological Methods, 2005A broad theory of scientific method is sketched that has particular relevance for the behavioral sciences. This theory of method assembles a complex of specific strategies and methods that are used in the detection of empirical phenomena and the subsequent construction of explanatory theories. A characterization of the nature of phenomena is given, and

IDEAL TYPES AND SCIENTIFIC THEORIES
2004In this work I will put forward the idea that Max Weber’s conception of the “ideal type” may have a role in the process aimed at formulating a reliable concept of scientific law and scientific theory.
