    Constructing general models of theory dynamics
    with David Pearce
    Studia Logica 42 (2-3). 1983.
    This essay is an attempt to consider dynamic aspects of scientific theorising from a formal perspective. Our emphasis will be on the aims and methods for constructing formal models of theory dynamics which will be conceived from a general or 'theoretical' rather than 'applied' standpoint

    Correspondence as an intertheory relation
    with David Pearce
    Studia Logica 42 (2-3). 1983.
    In this paper we give the gist of our reconstructed notion of (limiting case) correspondence. Our notion is very general, so that it should be applicable to all the cases in which a correspondence has been said to exist in actual science.
