Is fertility virtuous in its own right?
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 50 (2):265-282 (1999)
Abstract
the virtues which are desirable for scientific theories to possess. In this paper I discuss the several species of theoretical virtues called 'fertility', and argue in each case that the desirability of 'fertility' can be explicated in terms of other, more fundamental theoretical virtues.Author's Profile
