 where \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) are two alternative hypotheses, and E is a piece of evidence. Given the pivotal importance Kuhn ascribed to theory comparison, Salmon regarded the Bayesian method as a way of bridging the gap between the vision of science as an objective and rational enterprise, embraced by logical empiricists, and Kuhn’s critique of such view (Salmon 1990d [2005]). That said, it is worth noticing that taking in some of Kuhn’s insights Salmon adopts a somewhat moderate attitude, arguing “I must state immediately and emphatically that I do not believe for one moment that scientists use algorithms for purposes of choosing among scientific theories but if there were any such algorithms the theorem of Bayes would be the prime candidate” (Salmon 2005: 123, italics original).
