Bugün öğrendim ki: Occam'ın Tıraş Bıçağı, Felsefedeki pek çok "Jilet"ten biridir - Hitchen'ın Tıraş Bıçağı ve Hanlon'un Tıraş Bıçağı da dahil olmak üzere - bunların tümü, olası açıklamaları 'tıraş etmenize' izin veren ilkelerdir.

Principle that allows one to eliminate unlikely explanations In [philosophy](/wiki/Philosophy "Philosophy"), a _razor_ is a [principle](/wiki/Principle "Principle") or [rule of thumb](/wiki/Rule_of_thumb " Rule of thumb") that allows one to eliminate ("shave off") unlikely explanations for a phenomenon, or avoid unnecessary actions.[1][2][3] Razors include: * [Occam's razor](/wiki/Occam's_razor "Occam's razor"): Simpler explanations are more likely to be correct; avoid unnecessary or improbable assumptions. * [Hanlon's razor](/wiki/Hanlon's_razor "Hanlon's razor"): Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.[4] * [Hitchens's razor](/wiki/Hitchens's_razor "Hitchens's razor"): What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. * [Hume's guillotine](/wiki/Hume's_Guillotine "Hume's Guillotine"): What _ought_ to be cannot be deduced from what _is_. "If the cause, assigned for any effect, be not sufficient to produce it, we must either reject that cause, or add to it such qualities as will give it a just proportion to the effect."[5][6] * [ Alder's razor](/wiki/Alder's_razor "Alder's razor"): If something cannot be settled by experiment or observation, then it is not worthy of debate.[7] * [Sagan standard](/wiki/Sagan_standard "Sagan standard"): Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. * [Popper's falsifiability principle](/wiki/Falsifiability "Falsifiability"): For a theory to be considered scientific, it must be falsifiable.[8] * [Grice's](/wiki/Paul_Grice "Paul Grice") razor: As a principle of [parsimony](/wiki/Occam's_razor "Occam's razor"), conversational [implications](/wiki/Implicature "Implicature") are to be preferred over semantic context for [linguistic](/wiki/Linguistic "Linguistic") explanations.[9][10]
