Correspondence_Rule_and_Qunie-duhem_theory

Correspondence Rule and Qunie-duhem theory Section 1; Question #2: Part A A correspondence rule (c-rule) is when observational and theoretical terms are put together to form a specific definition. Science has evolved through this by positivists by combining theoretical and mathematical logic. The c-rule is the basis for all positivists. The bioconditional affect though is that which connects observations to theories through and “if and only if” stance. By using mathematical logic, positivists have concluded that there are 5 rules that are the essence of the c-rule. To start, one must have a quantifier(s) to state what the observational object is under scrutiny. Next the positivist would add mathematical logic to the equation through the use of symbols. The results are then determined as observational and/or theoretical terms, applying naturally to the laws of nature. The reasons behind this logic though are simple. Positivists wanted to discredit the fact that science and experimentation are subjective. By creating a standard way of testing and interpreting results through mathematics, science now becomes universal and objective. Section 1; Question #2: Part B People still try to discredit positivism though. They say that positivists use subjunctive mathematics rather objective mathematics.
