Psychologism and the distinction between discovery and justification

Volker Peckhaus

pp. 99-116

There is a certain analogy between the discovery–justification distinction (DJ distinction) in the philosophy of science and the genesis–validity distinction in epistemology and the foundational discourse in logic.¹ The investigation of this analogy may reveal the tight relation between Hans Reichenbach's famous distinction and earlier modes of argument in foundational debates in post- and neo-Kantian times.
