What are the objects of science? Are they just the things in our
scientific experiments that are located in space and time? Or does
science also require that there be additional things that are not
located in space and time? Using clear examples, these are just
some of the questions that Scott Berman explores as he shows why
alternative theories such as Nominalism, Contemporary
Aristotelianism, Constructivism, and Classical Aristotelianism,
fall short. He demonstrates why the objects of scientific knowledge
need to be not located in space or time if they are to do the
explanatory work scientists need them to do. The result is a
contemporary version of Platonism that provides us with the best
way to explain what the objects of scientific understanding are,
and how those non-spatiotemporal things relate to the
spatiotemporal things of scientific experiments, as well as
everything around us, including even ourselves.
