Value-Free ideal is an epistemic ideal: an objection to the argument from inductive risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arguing from inductive risk, Heather Douglas tried to show that the ideal of value-free science is completely unfounded. The argument has been widely acknowledged be a strong against ideal. In this paper, beginning with an analysis concept ideal, we argue epistemic rather than practical or ethical Then, aim risk cannot employed as far it understood We try takes and limitations actual scientific enterprise into account undermine But employing non-epistemic considerations makes impotent

An Investigation of the Concept of an Ideal Family from Students’ Points of View
During the last decades many governments have used formal education as a fundamental instrument for educating children and teenagers in order to promote their personal and inter-personal skills and alleviate family-related problems. Nevertheless, due attention has not been paid to this vital issue in the Iranian education system and even Fundamental Reform Document of Education has emphasized a...
متن کاملBiprojectivty of Banach algebras modulo an ideal
In this paper, we introduce the new concept of biprojectivity of a Banach algebra modulo an ideal, as a generalization of this notion in the classical case. By using it , we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for contractibility of Banach algebras modulo an ideal. In particular we characterize the contractibility of quotient Banach algebras. Also we study the relationship between t...
متن کاملCoherence in amalgamated algebra along an ideal
Let $f: Arightarrow B$ be a ring homomorphism and let $J$ be an ideal of $B$. In this paper, we investigate the transfer of the property of coherence to the amalgamation $Abowtie^{f}J$. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for $Abowtie^{f}J$ to be a coherent ring.
متن کاملConstructing an Ideal Hash Function from Weak Ideal Compression Functions
We introduce the notion of a weak ideal compression function, which is vulnerable to strong forms of attack, but is otherwise random. We show that such weak ideal compression functions can be used to create secure hash functions, thereby giving a design that can be used to eliminate attacks caused by undesirable properties of compression functions. We prove that the construction we give, which ...
متن کاملDesirable Properties of an Ideal Risk Measure
This paper examines the properties that a risk measure should satisfy in order to characterize an investor’s preferences. In particular, we propose some intuitive and realistic examples that describe several desirable features of an ideal risk measure. This analysis is the first step in understanding how to classify an investor’s risk. Risk is an asymmetric, relative, heteroskedastic, multidime...
