SCIENZA PER CONVENZIONE?

Abstract

Scientific Conventionalism claims that conventional traits stands in theories in many forms and for many reasons. Relevant arguments about conventionalities in science will briefly be discussed, pointing out a Linguistic Conventionalism and a Methodological Conventionalism. We will show the common ground between the two and how they interact. Eventually we will highlight how conventionality of theoretical framework implies conventionality of the mathematics and the ontology adopted.
