What is rigour? What is it meant to achieve? Suppose the defining features of a rigorous process to be not-trivial, auditable, rule-based, precise, integrable, and based on a valid argument. Using randomised controlled trials as an example, we argue

This chapter provides a final caution: a virtuous tangle doesn’t ensure a scientific product is reliable. Using the example of gravitational wave energy we show how two scientific accounts, aimed at explaining the same phenomenon for the same purpo

This chapter puts the concept of the tangle to work, showing how it can be used to solve an ongoing debate in political science. Here we show how the theory of the democratic peace, an agreed-upon principle without a broadly agreed-upon explanation,

In this chapter we explain and defend three objections to scientific method. Objection (1): Any characterisation that is broad enough to cover everything that reasonably gets counted as science, from gravitational wave theory to thermometry to Covid-

The Introduction outlines what The Tangle of Science aims to do and describes how the contents of the book serve those aims. It explains that the central question the book addresses is ‘Why can we rely on the products of science to do the jobs we e

This chapter illustrates the concept of a tangle using two episodes from the history of science. In the first episode, we examine how natural philosophes of the eighteenth century ‘fixed’ the boiling point of water. In the second, we shift to the

In this chapter, we offer three different arguments to support our claim that a virtuous tangle is a symptom of scientific reliability and is conductive to it. First, standard theories of confirmation presuppose tangles of the kind we advocate. Secon

Science is remarkably reliable. It puts people on the moon, performs laser eye surgery, tells us about ancient civilisations and species, and predicts the future of our climate. What underwrites this reliability? This book argues that the standard an
