In The Paradox of Predictivism, Eric Barnes argues that the successful prediction of evidence testifies to the general credibility of the predictor in a way that evidence does not when the evidence is used in the process of endorsing the theory. He illustrates his argument with an important episode from nineteenth-century chemistry, Mendeleev's Periodic Law and its successful predictions of the existence of various elements. The consequences of this account of predictivism for the realist/anti-realist debate are considerable, and strengthen the status of the 'no miracle' argument for scientific realism. Barnes's important and original contribution to the debate will interest a wide range of readers in philosophy of science. 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xForecasting 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xForecasting. 676 $a501 700 $aBarnes$b Eric C$g(Eric Christian),$f1959-$01548754 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777041503321 996 $aThe paradox of predictivism$93806053 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01471nam 2200481Ia 450 001 9910777742603321 005 20230607222723.0 010 $a1-58218-244-2 035 $a(CKB)1000000000752737 035 $a(OCoLC)648371660 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary2001520 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000432243 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11316006 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000432243 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10477946 035 $a(PQKB)10630603 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3151917 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3151917 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr2001520 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000752737 100 $a20780803e20011902 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe story of the Indian$b[electronic resource] /$fby George Bird Grinnell 210 $aScituate, Mass. $cDigital Scanning$d2001 215 $a1 online resource (297 p.) 300 $a"As published in 1902." 300 $aOriginally published: The story of the Indian.
