- W1555961937 abstract "After the 1998 Ghent conference on scientific discovery and creativity, organized by Joke Meheus and Thomas Nickles, Atocha Aliseda was the first to take up my challenge (published in 1999) for computational modeling of instrumentalist abduction, with Joke Meheus following, witness the next paper. I greatly appreciate the clear and convincing way in which Aliseda shows that her general semantic tableau method for abduction can be used to make empirical progress of a special kind: the identification and subsequent resolution of lacunae. An especially nice feature of her method is that it does not favor revisions by adding initial conditions, but also generates proper theory revisions, as her leading example in Section 3 (from H1 to H3) essentially illustrates by adding a conditional statement. To be honest, I do not rule out that Patrick Maher will be able to find some holes in this paper, in particular in Section 3.2 with the crucial transition from Aliseda’s first explication of my rather intuitive notion of lacuna, lacuna*, to her second explication, lacuna**, a transition in which reference to the available initial conditions is removed. However, I am also fairly sure that such problems can either be solved by some further refinement or that they are typically artificial in nature, such that it is difficult, if not impossible, to imagine real-life instantiations of them. In the rest of this reply I first deal with the remaining task of instrumentalist abduction, in particular the general task of theory revision in the face of remaining counterexamples. For this purpose it seems important to explicate the nature of empirical counterexamples, in particular by comparing them with logical counterexamples, which is my second aim." @default.
