This book proposes a novel position in the debate on scientific
realism: Modal Empiricism. Modal empiricism is the view that the
aim of science is to provide theories that correctly delimit, in a
unified way, the range of experiences that are naturally possible
given our position in the world. The view is associated with a
pragmatic account of scientific representation and an original
notion of situated modalities, together with an inductive
epistemology for modalities. It purports to provide a faithful
account of scientific practice and of its impressive achievements,
and defuses the main motivations for scientific realism. More
generally, Modal Empiricism purports to be the precise articulation
of a pragmatist stance towards science. This book is of interest to
any philosopher involved in the debate on scientific realism, or
interested in how to properly understand the content, aim and
achievements of science.
