商品描述

This book offers a comprehensive update on the scientific realism debate, enabling readers to gain a novel appreciation of the role of objectivity and truth in science and to understand fully the various ways in which antirealist conceptions have been subjected to challenge over recent decades. Authoritative representatives of different philosophical traditions explain their perspectives on the meaning and validity of scientific realism and describe the strategies being adopted to counter persisting antirealist positions. The coverage extends beyond the usual discussion of realism within the context of the natural sciences, and especially physics, to encompass also its applicability in mathematics, logic, and the human sciences. The book will appeal to all with an interest in the recent realist epistemologies of science, the nature of current philosophical debate, and the ongoing rehabilitation of truth as the legitimate goal of scientific research.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了關於科學實在論辯論的全面更新，使讀者能夠新穎地理解客觀性和真理在科學中的角色，並充分了解在過去幾十年中反實在論觀念所面臨的各種挑戰。不同哲學傳統的權威代表解釋了他們對科學實在論的意義和有效性的看法，並描述了為了反駁持續存在的反實在論立場而採取的策略。這本書的內容不僅限於自然科學，特別是物理學中的實在論討論，還擴展到數學、邏輯和人文科學的適用性。對於所有對科學的近期實在論認識、當前哲學辯論的性質以及真理作為科學研究合法目標的持續復興感興趣的人來說，這本書都將具有吸引力。
