The next session of the Logica Universalis Webinar will be Wednesday October 29, 2025 at 4pm CET (Paris-Geneva-Rome)
Speaker: Roy T. Cook Department of Philosophy, University of Minnesota, USA https://www.roycookparadox.com/ Title of the talk: Crazy Dice, Chance, and Counting Causes Abstract: We develop a simple model of the underdetermination of theory by data using “crazy dice” – standardly shaped dice with non-standard labellings – and we use the model to illustrate a number of distinct ways that scientific data (the probability distributions of the dice) can underdetermine our theories of that data (claims about the shapes, labellings, number, and identity of the dice). We conclude by drawing some tentative conclusions regarding what this model has to teach us about the underdetermination of theory by data in general. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11787-025-00377-3 Associate organization: Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science https://cla.umn.edu/mcps presented by its director Alan Love https://twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/expert/alan-love Chair: Jens Lemanski (Editorial Board LU) https://www.uni-muenster.de/PhilSem/mitglieder/lemanski.html Everybody is welcome to join, register here https://cassyni.com/events/NgKEmR6U8Z6iAmoXc8Ad5F Jean-Yves Beziau Organizer of LUW / Editor-in-Chief Logica Universalis https://www.philpeople.org/profiles/jean-yves-beziau
