The Philosophy of the Law Idea and the Role of the Prescientific in Statistical Inference Andrew M. Hartley, UCB Pharma, Inc. December 2004 Abstract:The "Philosophy of the Law Idea" (PLI), developed by reformed thinkers in the Netherlands, argues that "prescientific" human experience, in which each created thing displays simultaneously a plurality of mutually cohering aspects (quantitative, biological, logical, aesthetic, fiduciary, . . .), forms a necessary foundation for scientific theorizing. Each science focuses on relatively few aspects; it must enhance prescientific experience, but cannot replace that experience. This essay contends that the PLI's conception of scientific-prescientific carries implications for Bayesian and frequentist statistical paradigms. In particular, subjective Bayesianism identifies limitations on beliefs, by enhancing scientifically a prescientific base. Frequentism, in contrast, either disqualifies prescientific beliefs or combines them with mathematical outcomes in arbitrary ways. Thus, this article claims, subjective Bayesianism seems comparatively consistent with the PLI.

Two Ways of Knowing James Bradley, Calvin College August 2004 Abstract: This paper contrasts statistics and faith as means of acquiring knowledge. It argues that both are legitimate ways of knowing but based on different sources, different purposes, and yielding different types of knowledge. They normally complement each other well; however, they may conflict. It concludes with a discussion of some guiding principles for this situation. The paper was written to facilitate the integration of faith and learning in an introductory, non-calculus based statistics course.
