Scientific Realism
In Melville Y. Stewart (ed.), Science and Religion in Dialogue. Wiley-Blackwell. pp. 1011--1033 (2009)
Abstract
In "Scientific Realism" I lay out the debate between scientific realism and nonrealism, developing arguments for the respective positions,assessing the views, and ultimately defending realism on the grounds that nonrealists fail to provide an explanation for why science and its predictions work.Author's Profile
