Ramsey's original proposal may be found in his paper, 'Theories', in D. H. Mellor (ed.) F.P. Ramsey Philosophical Papers Ramsey 1990. For Hempel, see 'The Theoretician's Dilemma' Hempel 1958. Lewis presents his version of the Ramsey sentence approach in his paper, 'How to Define Theoretical Terms' Lewis 1970. Refined Ramsey-style approaches continue to play a role in the discussion of theoretical terms. See, for example, David Papineau 'Theory-dependent Terms' Papineau 1996. For the connection with structural realism, see Cruse 2005. |
