It thereby makes an important and original contribution to questions of philosophical method and methodology. The book shows step-by-step how RE is applied, and develops a methodological framework which will be useful for everyone who wishes to use reflective equilibrium. With respect to precautionary principles, the book demonstrates how a rights-based precautionary principle can be constructed and defended. The case study succeeds in demonstrating that RE can be successfully applied and puts real constraints on the justification process. This is all the more remarkable as the case study was designed as an open-ended process, without presupposing any specific results. This book will be highly relevant both to people interested in philosophical methodology and epistemology, as well as to researchers who are interested in using philosophical methods and tools and applying them to practical problems. 2022-07-13T12:26:37Z 2022-07-13T12:26:37Z 2022 book ONIX_20220713_9783031043338_4 9783031043338 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/57301 eng Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-04333-8.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-04333-8 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-031-04333-8 10.1007/978-3-031-04333-8 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 07f61e34-5b96-49f0-9860-c87dd8228f26 9783031043338 Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) Springer International Publishing 27 273 Cham [...] Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung Swiss National Science Foundation open access
