Neo-Humean & Mechanismic Paradigms of Inference for Physical Science

In Neo-Humean & Mechanismic Paradigms of Inference for Physical Science, author Philippos Afxentiou explores the intersections of causality across physical and social sciences. This work presents an ambitious framework for unifying scientific inference across disciplines, from hard sciences like physics to more conceptually nuanced fields like social science. Drawing on both Humean and mechanistic theories of causality, the book critically examines existing scientific paradigms, addressing their limitations and proposing a path toward greater coherence in understanding causation. Afxentiou’s exploration of inductive reasoning, probabilistic causality, and multi-linear causation offers a compelling re-evaluation of what it means to establish a theory that bridges traditionally disparate fields. Ideal for readers with an interest in philosophy of science, this work brings clarity and innovation to one of the most complex debates in modern scientific thought.

A Wolf Called Pedro

Pedro was the youngest member of a wolf pack family.

Being the youngest sometimes meant that you don’t get much time from your family because they have so many other things to do, and so you might try to get their attention the wrong way. Pedro’s way was to make up stories about things that weren’t true.

When he kept telling fibs about being sick, about pretend fires, about his family winning money, and so on, his family decided not to do anything next time he told a pretend story!

But when Pedro really was hurt, and alone in the woods, nobody came!

Read what became of him, and the lesson he learnt… ‘never cry wolf.’

A Hippo Called Henry

Henry was a young hippopotamus who was growing up in a big thunder of family, friends, and foes, and within their homeland by the water there was always some competition within the herds.

When the annual Tree Trunk shove is nearly ready to roll, Henry gets his local hippos together to train them for the big day… to turn them into a team of hippos rather than just a gathering of individual hippos!

A champion team rather than a team of champions!

Some of the hippos didn’t want to train, didn’t want to be in a team, or didn’t want to be in the shove, but Henry had other ideas.

Did Henry show his friends and family just how important team spirit is, and was it enough then to win the 100th Tree Trunk shove?
