Studies in Scientific Realism
ISBN: 9780195118650 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book offers a superbly clear analysis of the standard arguments for and against scientific realism. In surveying claims on both sides of the debate, Kukla organizes them in ways that expose unnoticed connections. He identifies broad patterns of error, reconciles seemingly incompatible positions, and discovers unoccupied positions with the potential to influence further debate. Kukla's overall assessment is that neither the realists nor the antirealists may claim a decisive victory.
