The contributors to this 1981 volume are all concerned with
scientific realism, but each author questions or rejects aspects of
the way it has traditionally been discussed. There are three main
foci of attention - reduction, time and modality - and the analyses
bring out complexities and difficulties obscured in the standard
accounts of scientific realism. The papers are powerful and
original, representing some of the best in modern philosophy of
science, and each were specifically commissioned for the volume. It
is an excellent source book for courses on realism or the
philosophy of science. The book therefore takes its place in the
informal series of volumes arising from meetings sponsored by the
Thyssen Foundation, which already includes C. Hookway and P. Pettit
(eds.) Action and Interpretation (C. U. P. 1978) and R. Harrison
(ed.) Rational Action (C. U. P. 1980).
