Logical Simplicity: A Challenge to Philosophy and to Social Inquiry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2022
Extract
In part one of this paper we shall elucidate an operational concept of logical simplicity as it seems to function in natural science. Although this is a tentative and exploratory formulation, its novelty, relative to the great European philosophical tradition, seems to require a preliminary warning about misunderstandings.
In Part Two we shall apply the formulation to social inquiry and make a positive suggestion for further development of the proposal.
