20.500.12556/DKUM-97755 Coherence-based measures of explanatory power Recent critiques have cast doubt on the viability of probabilistic measures of ex planatory power. We respond by developing a coherence-based family of measures that sidesteps these challenges. Rather than assessing explanatory power solely by how well a hypothesis accounts for the evidence, these measures evaluate how well the entire explanatory package, including multiple explanantia, coheres with the explanandum compared to how well it coheres with its negation. We show that this approach accommodates key scientific judgments while preserving the virtues of a probabilistic framework. explanatory power probabilistic measures coherence Bayesian reasoning scientific explanation razlagalna moč verjetnostne mere koherenca Bayesovo sklepanje znanstvene razlage true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2026-04-10 03:16:47 2026-04-13 09:41:17 2026-04-14 03:09:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 27 str. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2026-03-13 2026-04-04 165 274466819 10.1007/s11098-026-02517-x 0031-8116 RAZ_Hartmann_Stephan_2026.pdf RAZ_Hartmann_Stephan_2026.pdf 1 03FFFB8A009E185EE80690153FB07465 5904ce175006984de74688d144bdca30add3d3c13ca0ca8330c9a4997160605d dfecb44c-370b-11f1-bc3c-00155d0001a1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=205226 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11098-026-02517-x 0 f9a2341c-370b-11f1-bc3c-00155d0001a1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=205227 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
