Abstract
V diplomski nalogi preizprašujem tehtnost ideje, ki vzpostavlja razlagalno povezavo med empiričnim uspehom teorije in njeno resničnostjo. Ker deluje ideja intuitivno zelo prepričljivo, se mi zdi toliko bolj zanimivo proučiti načine, kako vse bi jo lahko preizkušali. Tako je temeljno vprašanje naloge, kako razložiti empirični uspeh v znanosti. Ta izhodiščna točka je povezana z vrsto podvprašanj: kaj so ugovori realistični razlagi, ki jo tukaj jemljem za zdravorazumsko izhodišče diskusije, in kakšne so alternative; kakšnega pomena je to vprašanje in kakšno vlogo igra v širšem epistemološkem vprašanju o spoznavnem statusu znanosti; zakaj je to vprašanje pomembno? V nalogi skušam doseči celostni pregled nad diskusijo okoli t. i. argumenta brez čudežev.

Title:Epistemological Consequences of Success in Science
Abstract:
This paper examines the plausibility of an explanatory link connecting the empirical success of a scientific theory with its truth. Because this idea is intuitively convincing, it might be worth considering all the potential problems of it. The central question of this paper is how to explain empirical success in science. This leads to some additional considerations: what are the objections to the realist explanation, which I take to be the common-sense starting point of the discussion, and what are the alternatives; what role does the question play in the broader question of the epistemological status of science; why does this question matter? In this paper, I try to obtain a solid overview of the discussion around the so-called no-miracles argument.

Keywords:scientific realism, no-miracles argument, explanation, mature scientific theories, pessimistic meta-induction.
