Uniqueness thesis (epistemology)

The uniqueness thesis is “the idea that a body of evidence justifies at most one proposition out of a competing set of propositions (e.g., one theory out of a bunch of exclusive alternatives) and that it justifies at most one attitude toward any particular proposition.” The types of attitudes towards a proposition, are: believing, disbelieving, and suspending judgment. The uniqueness thesis claims that, given a body of evidence, one of these attitudes is the rationally justified one.The justification referred to in this thesis is epistemic justification. Stewart Cohen, following Christensen, suggests alternative interpretation of ‘attitude’. Attitude is described by credence, which is the degree of belief in a certain proposition, also referred to as subjective bayesian probability”. The denial of the Uniqueness Thesis is also referred to as “Permissivism” (Wikipedia).

Uniqueness: The Physics Problem That Shouldn't Be Solved

The Uniqueness Theorem can PROVE that this problem only has one possible solution... so however we can find it (e.g. guessing), we know we've got the right one! In this video, we'll be taking a look at how this uniqueness theorem is derived for the Poisson and Laplace equations in electro
