Send us a text In this episode of Philosophy Crossroads , we delve into the fascinating world of convergentism, a philosophical framework that evaluates inference methods based on their capacity to lead us toward the truth over time. Guided by the seminal contributions of Charles Sanders Peirce and Hans Reichenbach, we explore the principles of error correction, statistical consistency, and stability in scientific reasoning. Through engaging thought experiments like the Greek and the Tide, the White Ball Problem, and the Lottery Paradox, we uncover the practical implications of convergentism and its role in navigating the challenges of inductive reasoning.
