Credible Worlds, Capacities and Mechanisms (2009, background): “Explicitly or implicitly, Aydinonat (2007), Cartwright (2009) and Grune-Yanoff (2009) all appeal to tightlyrestricted canons of inductive inference whose effect is to confine modellers within the structure of argument that characterises the isolation approach, as outlined in Sect.”
If No Capacities Then No Credible Worlds. But Can Models Reveal Capacities? (2009, background): “Galison (1987) describes as ‘the golden event’ in physics; as soon as we see it we rightly feel confident without the need for a huge number of further instances.) The license to make the inductive leap is threatened in exactly the same way that the inference to the ‘natural’ manifestation of the c”
The explanation paradox (2012, background): “Till Grüne-Yanoff (2009), finally, holds that models prove modal hypotheses, a view with which I have also toyed in Reiss (2008a).”
