Helen's Contributions
Longino emphasizes the importance of context in assessing evidence. Multiple theories can explain the same observations, leading to uncertainty in selecting one theory. Scientists' perspectives on evidence and their endorsement of a theory are shaped by these principles. Longino uses the example of red spots on a girl to illustrate how preconceived notions and different hypotheses impact the perceived support for an idea based on evidence. -
