Contents/Summary
- Summary
- What is required for something to be evidence for a hypothesis? Here, the distinguished philosopher of science Peter Achinstein addresses this question. He introduces a basic concept of "potential" evidence that is characterized using a novel epistemic interpretation of probability; the resulting theory is applied to a range of philosophical and historical issues.
