Episode 81: Easy to Varyness vs Ad Hocness
Manage episode 407735052 series 2853322
Bruce sympathetically critiques David Deutsch’s concept of “easy to varyness” as a way to judge our explanations.
Are our best theories about reality truly hard to vary? Bruce makes the case that Popper’s concept of “ad hocness” may be a strangely interwoven concept.
Along the way we get deeper into whether Popperian epistemology is best seen as an attitude or a methodology.
