Dawid, Richard (2008) Scientific Prediction and the Underdetermination of Scientific Theory Building. [Preprint]
Abstract
According to the no miracles argument, scientific realism provides the only satisfactory explanation of the predictive success of science. It is argued in the present article that a different explanatory strategy, based on the posit of limitations to the underdetermination of scientific theory building by the available empirical data, offers a more convincing understanding of scientific success.
