SUMMARY:Confirmation, Induction and Science, Londo
 n
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20070308
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20070310
LOCATION:London
DESCRIPTION:Opinions on confirmation and induction
  diverge wildly in philosophy of science. At one e
 xtreme are those such as the Bayesians, who believ
 e that the true system of inductive logic has been
  found and all that needs to be resolved are the d
 etails. At the other are skeptics, such as some su
 pporters of the underdetermination thesis, who hol
 d that no logic can vindicate the level of support
  scientists claim for their best, mature theories,
  for, they urge, the real inductive import of evid
 ence cannot be that decisive. Between these extrem
 e are many intermediate positions, including the v
 iew that the very nature of inductive inference re
 mains poorly understood. Our goal in this conferen
 ce is to bring together representatives from as ma
 ny of these viewpoints as possible in order to adv
 ance our understanding of this problem.   For more
  information, see http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections
 /CPNSS/events/Conferences/   The Programme Committ
 ee cordially invites all researchers to submit the
 ir papers for presentation. Submission deadline is
  1 October 2006.

 nions on confirmation and induction diverge wildly
  in philosophy of science. At one extreme are thos
 e such as the Bayesians, who believe that the true
  system of inductive logic has been found and all 
 that needs to be resolved are the details. At the 
 other are skeptics, such as some supporters of the
  underdetermination thesis, who hold that no logic
  can vindicate the level of support scientists cla
 im for their best, mature theories, for, they urge

 that decisive. Between these extreme are many inte
 rmediate positions, including the view that the ve
 ry nature of inductive inference remains poorly un
 derstood. Our goal in this conference is to bring
