Wesley Charles Salmon (August 9, 1925 – April 22, 2001) was an American philosopher of science renowned for his work on the nature of scientific explanation. He also worked on confirmation theory, trying to explicate how probability theory via inductive logic might help confirm and choose hypotheses. Yet most prominently, Salmon was a realist about causality in scientific explanation, although his realist explanation of causality drew ample criticism. Still, his books on scientific explanation itself were landmarks of the 20th century's philosophy of science, and solidified recognition of causality's important roles in scientific explanation, whereas causality itself has evaded satisfactory elucidation by anyone.

  • Wesley C. Salmon (9 agosto 1925 – 22 aprile 2001) è stato un filosofo statunitense, noto per i suoi contributi sulla natura della spiegazione scientifica e sulla teoria della conferma. Sotto l'influenza dell'empirismo logico, in particolare del lavoro di Carl Hempel, la maggior parte dei filosofi aveva visto la spiegazione scientifica come affermazione di regolarità, ma non identificando le cause. Per sostituire il modello statistico-induttivo proposto da Hempel, Salmon ha introdotto il modello di rilevanza statistica ( modello di SR), e ha proposto il criterio di massima specificità massima per integrare l'altra componente del modello di legge di copertura, il modello nomologico-deduttivo (o modello a legge di copertura).
