Scientific realism is the position that the aim of science is to
advance on truth and increase knowledge about observable and
unobservable aspects of the mind-independent world which we
inhabit. This book articulates and defends that position. In
presenting a clear formulation and addressing the major arguments
for scientific realism Sankey appeals to philosophers beyond the
community of, typically Anglo-American, analytic philosophers of
science to appreciate and understand the doctrine. The book
emphasizes the epistemological aspects of scientific realism and
contains an original solution to the problem of induction that
rests on an appeal to the principle of uniformity of nature.
