Brad Wray provides a comprehensive survey of the arguments against scientific realism. In addition to presenting logical considerations that undermine the realists' inferences to the likely truth or approximate truth of our theories, he provides a thorough assessment of the evidence from the history of science. He also examines grounds for a defence of anti-realism, including an anti-realist explanation for the success of our current theories, an account of why false theories can be empirically successful, and an explanation for why we should expect radical changes of theory in the future. His arguments are supported and illustrated by cases from the history of science, including a sustained study of the Copernican Revolution, and a study of the revolution in early twentieth century chemistry, when chemists came to classify elements by their atomic number rather than by their atomic weight Geschichte gnd Kritik (DE-588)4033229-9 gnd Wissenschaftsphilosophie (DE-588)4202787-1 gnd Naturwissenschaften (DE-588)4041421-8 gnd IRRTUM + FALSCHHEIT (ERKENNTNISTHEORIE) ger (ETHUDK)000009637 ethudk REALISMUS (ERKENNTNISTHEORIE) ger (ETHUDK)000009695 ethudk WISSENSCHAFTSTHEORIE + LOGISCHE METHODENLEHRE ger (ETHUDK)000009698 ethudk Realismus (Philosophie) (DE-588)4139710-1 gnd Wissenschaftstheorie (DE-588)4117665-0 gnd Science Social aspects Astronomy History Réalisme (philosophie) (RERO)A021010213 rero Philosophie des sciences (RERO)A021002714 rero Histoire (RERO)A021003248 rero Sciences (RERO)A021002713 rero u WISSENSCHAFTSTHEORIE + LOGISCHE METHODENLEHRE ger 167 nebis E1 u REALISMUS (ERKENNTNISTHEORIE) ger 165.6,32 nebis E1 u IRRTUM + FALSCHHEIT (ERKENNTNISTHEORIE) ger 165.023.2 nebis E1 u PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE + LOGICAL METHODOLOGY eng 167 nebis E1 u THÉORIE DES SCIENCES + MÉTHODOLOGIE LOGIQUE fre 167 nebis E1 u REALISM (EPISTEMOLOGY) eng 165.6,32 nebis E1 u RÉALISME (ÉPISTÉMOLOGIE) fre 165.6,32 nebis E1 u ERREUR + FAUSSETÉ (ÉPISTÉMOLOGIE) fre 165.023.2 nebis E1 u ERROR + FALLACIOUSNESS (EPISTEMOLOGY) eng 165.023.2 nebis E1 u CC 3200 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS zbzmon201811f wuet zbzswk201811b tschu idszbz Z2 UTS-IHR_20191 nebis EN NL201902 idslu L1 184 E01-20181217 011 IDS LU RERO RE01003 RE01003 RE010030001 NA 2019.8093 IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE CC 3200 2018 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2018 A 47737 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH JM 7106 NELA1001901 NEBIS E01 E01 MG T 87395 IDSBB B400 B400 400H5 BeM RGA 257 NELB4001909 NEBIS UTS UTS ULIS1 S wra 1.1 IDSBB 100 1- Wray K.
