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."
