Abstract
[Introduction] It has become common in the scientific realism literature to distinguish between the empirical and super-empirical virtues of scientific theories. Empirical virtues include predictive accuracy, fit with data, and so forth. The super-empirical virtues include unity, simplicity, mathematical elegance, explanatory power, and so forth. Both types of virtue are believed to play a role in theory choice.
