Description

Explore the complex relationship between science and truth in Contemporary Scientific Realism: The Challenge from the History of Science. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume examines the debate surrounding scientific realism and the historical challenges that test these claims. While realists argue that science provides a justifiable path to truth, historical episodes show that even strongly supported theories can be overturned. This book investigates how realists have developed new arguments and positions in response to these historical shifts. By analyzing specific challenges from the history of science, the text provides an expanding dataset regarding the connection between scientific practice and truth. It serves as an essential resource for understanding how new historical cases impact modern philosophical perspectives on the nature of scientific knowledge.
