Deduction Dummett Vs Deduction I 96
Explanation: DuhemVsFraassen: unification merely fictitious assumption to simplify - DuhemVsDeduction - DuhemVsDeductive-Nomological Model - FraassenVsDuhem: the empirical substructure of the theory should be isomorphic to that of the phenomena -DuhemVsFraassen: that’s only very roughly possible - (Cartwright ditto).

Deduction Duhem Vs Deduction Cartwright I 103
CartwrightVsDeductive-Nomological Model/CartwrighVsDeduction/CartwrightVsHempel: Explanations are rarely ever really deductive. Therefore, the generic-specific point of view receives little support from our practice. Many philosophers still follow the DN-model even today. This is because the explanations only set in after extensive scientific work. CartwrightVs: This overlooks the fact that physics itself already begins with (arbitrarily chosen) models. I 127 Facts/Physics/Laws/Cartwright: even if the fundamental laws remain in their original form, the steps of deriving from them are not dictated by any facts. That’s a problem: CartwrightVsDeductive-Nomological Model, CartwrightVsHempel, CartwrightVsGrünbaum. Fundamental Laws/Cartwright: therefore are not simply "better".
I 151 CartwrightVsDeductive-Nomological View: instead: the approach by Duhem: Science as organization (order) of knowledge.
I 162
CartwrightVsDeductive-Nomological Approach/VsD-N/CartwrightVsHempel: causality is not the only problem. This fails to explain even Humean facts of association. 1) because the fundamental laws are corrected during the derivation. (Essay 6) 2) often laws from different areas are pieced together. (Essay 3)

Deduction Cartwright Vs Deduction I 103
CartwrightVsDeductively nomological model/CartwrighVsDeduction/CartwrightVsHempel: statements are rarely actually deductive. Therefore, the generic-specific point of view obtains little support from our practice. Many philosophers still follow the DN model today. This is because the statements only set in after extensive scientific work. CartwrightVs: that overlooks the fact that physics itself already begins with (arbitrary) models. I 127 Facts/Physics/Laws/Cartwright: even if the fundamental laws remain in their original form, the steps of derivation from them are not dictated by any facts. That’s a problem: CartwrightVsDeductively nomological model, CartwrightVsHempel, CartwrightVsGrünbaum. Fundamental laws/Cartwright: are not simply "better" because of this.

I 162
CartwrightVsDeductively nomological approach/VsD N/CartwrightVsHempel: causality is not the only problem. Humean facts of the association are not explained by this, either. 1) because the fundamental laws are corrected during the derivation.
