Episode 78: Meehl on Theory
Manage episode 317343480 series 2313502
Alexa and Yoel are back with more amateur philosophy of science. This time, we do a deep dive into a paper by the legendary Paul Meehl: "Appraising and Amending Theories: The Strategy of Lakatosian Defense and Two Principles that Warrant It." What can this classic paper tell us about how to do better research?
We also talk about lactose, tandem bicycles, and New Year's resolutions (not in that order).
