Does the No Alternatives Argument need Gerrymandering to Be Significant?
Stockholm University, Faculty of Humanities, Department of Philosophy.ORCID iD: 0000-0002-1472-2958

Abstract [en]

In a recent article, Menon has argued that the no alternatives argument can only be significantif the priors for numbers of alternatives are tuned in an implausible way (gerrymandered, as he calls it). In this article, I demonstrate that priors needed for making a no alternatives argument significant are in line with what can be plausibly assumed in a successful research field.
