Transferring ways of thinking and mathematizing: The statistical approach between physics and biology [0.03%]
思维和数学化的转移：物理和生物之间的统计方法

I pose the epistemological question of what makes the transfer of statistical approaches across disciplines, specifically between physics and biology, legitimate and fruitful despite intrinsic differences in their objects of study - a probl...
The Dynamics of Quantum Gravity: The Missing Piece in the Spacetime Emergentist Account [0.03%]
量子引力的动态性：时空涌现论中的缺失环节
Álvaro Mozota Frauca

Quantum gravity suggests that spacetime may not be fundamental, and it has been argued that we can understand a theory without a fundamental spacetime if we are able to claim that spacetime 'emerges' from some non-spatiotemporal entities. I...

The main aim of this article is to significantly expand the frame model in order to analyze scientific theories by means of what I call theory frame modules (TFMs). I will illustrate the notion of TFMs through three scientific theories (Aim...
Strategic ignorance, and the management of performative effects: Lessons from climate economics [0.03%]
战略性的无知与表演性效果的管理——来自气候经济学的经验教训

It is a well-known predicament of the social sciences that predictions can sometimes intervene on the very processes the predictions concern. The purpose of this paper is to address the question of how modelers or scientists should act in t...
Fictionalism and scientific realism: A response to ungrounded criticism [0.03%]
虚构主义与科学实在论：对无根据批评的回应
Mauricio Suárez

Nélida Gentile and Susana Lucero have already published two papers (2024, 2025) criticising my approach to scientific fictions nearly two decades ago (Suárez 2009a, 2009b, 2010, 2013). Beginning with a polemical paper in this journal, the...

Although Howard Odum is often viewed as a foundational figure in ecological economics, he is also widely regarded as the epitome of absolute energy reductionism and a strong proponent of an energetic theory of value. In this article, we cha...
Echoes of Georgescu-Roegen's thermodynamic view in Latin American development debates [0.03%]
乔治·罗杰恩的热力学观点在拉丁美洲发展讨论中的回响

Georgescu-Roegen is known both for his proposal of a paradigmatic shift in economics and for the difficult acceptance of his thermodynamic view among his peers. It was only with the development of modern ecological economics that his view b...
Spontaneous contexts: Explanatory diversity in biological self-assembly [0.03%]
自组装的解释多样性：自发背景下的生物学问题

Sebastian Sander-Oest
In this paper, I argue that explaining spontaneous phenomena in biology requires multiple types of scientific explanations. First, I contend that explaining spontaneity necessitates citing both topological and nomological features as explan...

This paper argues that Newton employed a non-hypothetical method of evidential reasoning called demonstrative induction in his chronological studies. In demonstrative induction, inductive risk is confined to the premises, and the secureness...
