Kann ich rational und ein Außenseiter sein? Außenseitermeinungen in der Wissenschaft

Research output: Contribution to journalResearch articleContributedpeer-review

Abstract

The present paper addresses the question of whether outsiders in science (and other epistemically interested groups) can be rational. This question is addressed on three levels: the level of beliefs of outsiders, the level of decisions of outsiders, and the level of assertions of outsiders. It is argued that outsiders can indeed be rational but only within tightly constrained limits.

Translated title of the contribution
