摘要

有人声称动能是客观的物理量，同时又认为势能不是客观的物理量。然而，利用“最佳解释推理”的方法，可以很容易地得出这样的结论:势能确实是一个客观的物理量。这是从现代化学基础中抽取的一个例子。为了做到这一点，定义了“最可能”和“最合理”的标准，然后用于选择最佳解释。

Inference to the Best Explanation

It has been claimed that kinetic energy is an objective physical quantity whilst at the same time maintaining that potential energy is not. However, by making use of the method of ‘inference to the best explanation’, it may be readily concluded that potential energy is indeed an objective physical quantity. This is done for an example drawn from the foundations of modern chemistry. In order to do so, the criteria of what counts as ‘most probable’ and ‘most reasonable’ are defined and then employed for choosing the best explanation.
