Abstract The conventionality of simultaneity thesis as established by Reichenbach and Grünbaum is related to the partial freedom in the definition of simultaneity in an inertial reference frame. An…
DISCUSSION: IN DEFENSE OF DUHEM*
Griinbaum recognizes continuity as an hypothesis; he finds that it is both indispensable to theory and that it is warranted by the evidence. However, as this paper shows, the continuity that…
In Defense of Duhem
Adolph Grtinbaum has argued that Duhem's conventionalism is false for the case of Euclidean geometry ([6], [7], [8]). According to Duhem, any portion of a physical theory can be preserved from…
Theoretical Equivalence in Physics
I review the philosophical literature on the question of when two physical theories are equivalent. This includes a discussion of empirical equivalence, which is often taken to be necessary, and…

The conventionality of simultaneity in Einstein’s practical chrono-geometry
While Einstein considered that sub specie astern the correct philosophical position regarding geometry was that of the conventionality of geometry, he felt that provisionally it was necessary to…
Apuntes sobre la "bancarrota" de la ciencia "circa" 1900
Between 1880 and 1900 emerged a set of post romantic —almost vitalist—attitudes towards the sciences on the part of distinguished French intellectuals that range from a deep irrationalism to a not…
