This is this, this ain't something else, this is this -Robert De Niro,
Deerhunter his book may to some extent be viewed as the continuation
of my T Doctoral thesis Epistemology, Methodology and Reliability. The
dissertation was, first of all, a methodological study of the reliable
performance of the AGM-axioms (Alchourr6n, Gardenfors and Makin son)
of belief revision. Second of all the dissertation included the first
steps toward an epistemology for the limiting convergence of knowledge
for scientific inquiry methods of both discovery and assessment. The
idea of methodological reliability as a desirable property of a
scientific method was introduced to me while I was a visiting Ph. D.
-student at the Department of Philosophy, Carnegie Mellon University
in Pitts burgh, Pennsylvania, USA in 1995-96. Here I became
acquainted with formal learning theory. Learning theory provides a
variety of formal tools for investigating a number of important issues
within epistemology, methodology and the philosophy of science.
Especially with respect to the problem of induc tion, but not
exclusively. The Convergence of Scientific Knowledge-a view from the
limit utilizes a few concepts from formal learning theory to study
problems in modal logic and epistemology. It should be duely noted
that this book has virtually nothing to do with formal learning theory
or inductive learning problems.
