When updаting their beliefs in light оf new evidence, ideаlly rаtiоnal Bayesian scientists ensure that their degree оf subjective belief in theory exactly matches the objective chance of that theory's truth. However, during periods of revolutionary science, Kuhn argues, scientists totally abandon rational updating in favor of emotional leaps of faith, suggesting that Bayesianism is only a temporary tool and has no deep connection to truth. Moreover, since economic laws cannot reduce to physical laws, as Fodor shows, the attempt to treat scientific theories as parts of a unified, rational system -- i.e., the unity of science thesis -- is hopelessly misguided. Thus, Bayesian reasoning and the unity of science are both illusions, and true rationality requires embracing revolutionary leaps and scientific disunity. Essay Question: Provide two well-targeted objections to the soundness of the above argument, explaining the relevant details of the course materials that are relevant to your target and your objection to it. Hint: You will need to consider the basics of Bayesianism (subjective and objective interpretations), Kuhn’s account of revolutionary science along with Lakatos' main objection to it, and the Oppenheim and Putnam strategies for Unity of Science thesis versus Fodor’s anti-reductionist critique (as well as a response from a possible rival).
