This title presents a major statement on the dominant philosophy of
science by one of the world's leading metaphysicians. Brian Ellis's
new book develops the metaphysics of scientific realism to the
point where it begins to take on the characteristics of a first
philosophy. As most people understand it, scientific realism is not
yet such a theory. It is not sufficiently general, and has no
plausible applications in fields other than the well-established
sciences. Nevertheless, Ellis demonstrates that the original
arguments that led to scientific realism may be deployed more
widely than they originally were to fill out a more complete
picture of what there is. Ellis shows that realistic theories of
quantum mechanics, time, causality and human freedom can all be
developed satisfactorily, and moral theory can be recast to fit
within this comprehensive metaphysical framework.
