Description

In Resisting Scientific Realism, K. Brad Wray offers a detailed survey of the arguments used against scientific realism. This work presents logical considerations that challenge the realist claim that our theories are likely true or approximately true. By providing a thorough assessment of evidence from the history of science, the book explores the grounds for defending anti-realism. Wray examines why our current theories are successful and provides an account of how false theories can still achieve empirical success. The text also explains why radical changes in theory should be expected. This book is a significant resource for those studying the history and philosophy of science, offering a deep look into the debate between realism and anti-realism.
