"To perceive the distance between the divine and the human, it is enough to compare these crude wavering symbols which my fallible hand scrawls on the cover of a book, with the organic letters inside: punctual, delicate, perfectly black, inimitably symmetrical." (José Luis Borges)

Research Monograph

Bayesian Philosophy of Science (with Stephan Hartmann). Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2019.

The book shows how Bayesian methods can be used to answer classical and recent epistemological questions in philosophy of science, such as: the confirmation of scientific theories, quantifying causal and explanatory power, an analysis of objectivity in statistical reasoning and various forms of arguments to a best explanation (no-alternative argument, no-miracle argument).
