Contemporary philosophy is torn between a reliance on the pragmatic
meanings of designated objects and a foundation based on formal
theory. This book shows that philosophical knowledge, which no more
has a terminal state than an infinite set has a last term, advances
when the dialectical relationship between the two approaches is
synthesized. The choice of designations is intimately related to
theory and the form of theory is intimately related to the
character of designated objects. The intimate dialectical
relationship between theory and meaning is explored in detail in
the area of international theory. The recent emphasis on realism
rests on a regressive misunderstanding of the dialectical
relationship between theory and practice that loses Newton's acute
understanding of it, an understanding that underlies the great
advances of physics, and that is lost in the contemporary social
sciences.
