    Deductive and ampliative adaptive logics as tools in the study of creativity (1999)
    Springer
    Foundations of science 4 (1999), S. 325-336

    ISSN: 1572-8471
    Keywords: discovery ; creativity ; methodology ; adaptive logics

    Topics: Natural Sciences in General
    Notes: Abstract In this paper, I argue that logic hasan important role to play in the methodological studyof creativity. I also argue, however, that onlyspecial kinds of logic enable one to understand thereasoning involved in creative processes. I show thatdeductive and ampliative adaptive logics areappropriate tools in this respect.

    Rationality in the Discovery of Empirical Laws (1999)
    Springer
    Foundations of science 4 (1999), S. 357-370 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8471
    Keywords: discovery ; Feyerabend ; Kepler ; rationality
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Natural Sciences in General
    Notes: Abstract In this paper I argue against the traditional viewthat in discovery processes there is no place forrational decisions. First I argue that some historicalprocesses in which an empirical law was developed,were rational. Second, I identify some of themethodological rules that we can follow in order to berational when constructing an empirical law. Finally,I argue that people who deny that scientific discoverycan be rational do not understand the nature ofmethodological rules.

    Pauli versus Heisenberg: A Case Study of the Heuristic Role of Philosophy (1999)
    Springer
    Foundations of science 4 (1999), S. 405-426 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8471
    Keywords: discovery ; Heisenberg ; heuristics ; Pauli ; quantum theory
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Natural Sciences in General
    Notes: Abstract This article analyses an episode in the earlyhistory of quantum theory: the controversy betweenPauli and Heisenberg about the anomalous Zeemaneffect, which was a main stumbling block for the oldquantum theory of Bohr. It is argued that theindividual philosophical views of both Pauli andHeisenberg directed their attempts to solve theanomaly and decisively influenced the solutions theyproposed. The results of this case study arecompared with the assertions of four theories ofscientific change, namely those of Kuhn, Lakatos,Laudan and Giere.

    Inference to the Best Manipulation – A Case Study of Qualitative Reasoning in Neuropharmacy (1999)
    Springer
    Foundations of science 4 (1999), S. 483-495 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8471
    Keywords: discovery ; drug lead ; pharmacy ; philosophy of medicine ; qualitative reasoning
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Natural Sciences in General
    Notes: Abstract How can new drug lead suggestions beinferred from neurophysiological models? This paperaddresses this question based on a case study ofresearch into Parkinson's disease at the GroningenUniversity Department of Pharmacy. It is argued thatneurophysiological box-and-arrow models can beunderstood as qualitative differential equationmodels. An inference task is defined to helpunderstand and possibly aid the discovery andexplanation of new drug lead suggestions.
