Recommendations

• A structuralist framework for the logic of theory change
• The discovery/justification context dichotomy within formal and computational models of scientific theories: a weakening of the distinction based on the perspective of non-monotonic logics
• The theory of the process of explanation generalized to include the inconsistent case
• Rationality in Flux – Formal Representations of Methodological Change
• Quasi-truth, paraconsistency, and the foundations of science
