Philosophy of Science Talk: Chris Haufe
"Truth, Metaphor, and the Authority of Science” The appraisal of scientific theories resembles the appraisal of metaphors in a number of suggestive ways. These parallels form the basis of the view that the progress of science is not only marked but defined by the development of increasingly apt metaphors. But there are costs to accepting this argument, as it raises a deep puzzle for the authority of science.Chris Haufe is a Professor at Case Western Reserve University.This talk is sponsored by Society for the Philosophy of Science.
