A weirdly underappreciated problem about Inference to the Best Explanation is how it can handle uncertain evidence. This new paper, now forthcoming in Philosophy of Science, proposes a strategy for doing that (and argues that Einstein may have used it). #philsky #philsci

The landscape in #Iceland is just endlessly beautiful 🥰
A hillside in south-east Iceland with low clouds clinging to the tops. There are brown scree slopes with some grasses in places, and more jagged and layered at the top. A deep gulley is seen on the right.
