    There is a current debate about if, and in what sense, machine learning systems used in the medical context need to be explainable. Those arguing in favor contend these systems require post hoc explanations for each individual decision to increase trust and ensure accurate diagnoses. Those arguing against suggest the high accuracy and reliability of the systems is sufficient for providing epistemic justified beliefs without the need for explaining each individual decision. But, as we show, both …Read more

    Winch and Durkheim: The Difficulty of Social Reality
    In Nicola Marcucci (ed.), Durkheim & Critique, Springer Verlag. pp. 91-127. 2021.

    The Idea of Philosophy and Its Relation to Social Science
    Philosophy of the Social Sciences 44 (2): 151-178. 2014.
    This article takes up Winch’s exploration of a certain dialectic in philosophical accounts of social inquiry, the poles of which I refer to as the under-laborer and over-laborer conceptions of philosophy. I argue that these conceptions, shown in Risjord and Reed, respectively, are caught in a dialectic of treating philosophy’s roles as either modestly clarifying or broadly determining the claims of social science. A third conception of philosophy, the therapeutic conception, is exemplified by Re…Read more
