    Curie’s 1894 paper is examined on the basis of the recent discovery of a theoretical organization which is alternative to the deductive-axiomatic one. In agreement with it, the text presents many doubly negated propositions that belong to intuitionist logic, including its celebrated “propositions”; which therefore are recognized as heuristic in nature, not axioms. A rational re-construction of...

    Despite various positions and ideologies, scientists construct unobservable entities from certain indicative manifestations of a possible existent. From this point of view, Husserl’s phenomenology is presented as a possible philosophical framework to elucidate the meanings of foundational theoretical terms in relativistic physics, emphasizing their a priori character, its linguistically...

  3. 14. The rise of multi-messenger astrophysics and the pro-social function of models

    Following Ian Hacking’s (1989) investigation in the history of gravitational lensing, many studies have considered the role of models in astrophysics, particularly the so-called “models of data”, i.e., the use of numerical methods to infer an expected output from statistics about an input dataset. This has led to emphasize that much research appears “model driven”: models shape the...
