Philosophy papers: Jim Davies

• Research:
  • Is using science to study science circular? Some say it is. This essay explores under what conditions there are and are not examples of circular reasoning.
• Other:
  • Uniformity Dialogue: This is a dialogue that explicates Hume's notion that the uniformity principle, which is required for science (and induction in general) is a non-rational assumption. Hume is my favorite dead philosopher. I happen to be born on his birthday.
  • The philosophy of poisonous snakes: This is a fictional piece of humor. Do not read if you are not in the mood for something silly.
