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.
