As Saturday's final speaker at the BSI Epistemology Camp, Anthony Garrett delivered a comprehensive lecture, touching on several major themes centered around the principles of probability, scientific methods, and the philosophical underpinnings of science. He discusses his academic journey, encounters with prominent figures like Ed Jaynes, and his exploration into areas such as quantum mechanics, Bayesian probability, and the challenges posed by postmodernist criticisms of science. Garrett emphasizes the enduring utility and necessity of rigorous scientific methods, logical consistency in the application of probability theory, and the importance of rejecting flawed philosophical trends that undermine scientific integrity.
Anthony Garrett has a PhD in physics (Cambridge University, 1984) and has held postdoctoral research contracts in the physics departments of Cambridge, Sydney and Glasgow Universities. He is Managing Editor of Scitext Cambridge (www.scitext.com), an editing service for scientific documents.
