Question Answered

The Law of Method Employment (Rawleigh-2022) is an attempt to theory the following question: How do methods become employed by an epistemic agent?

See Mechanism of Method Employment for more details.

Description

This law of method employment is a corollary of Rawleigh's law of norm employment. It implies that, just like the norms of all other types, methods become employed when they are derivable from other elements of the agent's mosaic (such as other theories, other methods, and perhaps even questions). As such, the law preserves most of the content of Sebastien's third law by solving some of the issues inherent in it.

See The Law of Norm Employment (Rawleigh-2022) for a more thorough exposition.
