I just wanted to let you know how immensely helpful your lectures have been. There is no way I could grasp the context of Quine’s work, how it relates to other philosophers and how he responds to them, just by reading him alone. Even if I read his works a hundred times, I wouldn’t be able to understand these critical details without your lectures. They always help me fill in the gaps and create a coherent picture in my mind. I’m truly grateful for the effort you put into creating them. Thank you so much! Please continue making these lectures Professor. 🙏
There seems to be one very important AXIOM which almost every scientist and philosopher has internalized and which is at the heart of the discarding of theories, namely OCCAM'S Razor. Yet this criterion of choice among alternatives doesn't seem to be directly acknowledged.
It is directly acknowledged by Quine! He posits two epistemic norms for theories: maximizing simplicity and minimizing mutilation. The former resembles "Occam's Razor". Moreover, Paul Churchland, in his paper "on The Nature of Theories a Computational Perspective" follows in Quine's footsteps by supplying empirical evidence that simpler theories tend to make better predictors.
