Description: Scientific Realism by Stathis Psillos Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book addresses central issues in the philosophy of science. Publisher Description Scientific realism is the optimistic view that modern science is on the right track: that the world really is the way our best scientific theories describe it to be. In his book, Stathis Psillos gives a comprehensive study which restores the intuitive plausibility of scientific realism. He shows that throughout the 20th century, scientific realism has been challenged by philosophical positions from all angles: from reductive empiricism, to instrumentalism and to modern sceptical empiricism. The book explains that the history of sciencedoes not undermine the notion of scientific realism, and instead makes it reasonable to accept scientific realism as the best philosophical account of science, its empirical success, its progress and its practice. Anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the state of modern science and why scientific realism is plausible, should read this book.
