Includes bibliographical references and index.
PART I: SCIENTIFIC REALISM -- The Present State of the Scientific Realism Debate -- Scientific Realism and Metaphysics -- Thinking About the Ultimate Argument for Realism -- Against Neo-Instrumentalism -- Tracking the Real: Through Thick and Thin -- Cartwright's Realist Toil: FromEntities to Capacities -- PART II: STRUCTURAL REALISM -- Is StructuralRealism Possible? -- The Structure, the Whole Structure and Nothing but the Structure? -- Ramsey's Ramsey-sentences -- PART III: INFERENCE TOTHE BEST EXPLANATION -- Simply the Best: A Case for Abduction -- Inference to the Best Explanation and Bayesianism -- Notes -- References -- Index.
In Knowing the Structure of Nature, Stathis Psillos develops the articulation and defence of scientific realism that started in his very influential, widely read and discussed Scientific Realism: How Science Tracks Truth. Psillos argues in favour of the epistemic optimism associated with scientific realism. He criticises attempts to draw a sharp epistemic dichotomy between those aspects of nature that are knowable and those that will remain secret b7 sattempts to set limits to the scientific knowledge of nature. The book focuses on recent arguments and views in the scientific realism debate and repositions this debate within broader metaphysical and epistemological perspectives. It takes issue withkey elements of the structuralist turn in the philosophy of science and advances a newframework for inference to the best explanation. Professional philosophers of science, graduate students and anyone interested in scientific realism and inference to the best explanation will findthis book rewarding, stimulating and provocative.
