书目名称 | Realism and Explanatory Priority | 编辑 | John Wright | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Philosophical Studies Series | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | One of the central areas of concern in late twentieth-centuryphilosophy is the debate between Realism and anti-Realism. But theprecise nature of the issues that form the focus of the debate remainscontroversial. In .Realism and Explanatory Priority. a new way ofviewing the debate is developed. The primary focus is not on thenotions of existence, truth or reference, but rather on independence.A notion of independence is developed using concepts derived from thetheory of explanation. It is argued that this approach enables us toclarify the exact nature of the empirical evidence that would berequired to establish Realism in any area. The author defends arestricted form of Realism, which he calls Nomic Structuralism. .The book will be suitable for professional philosophers of language,science and metaphysics, and their graduate students. | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | discourse; language; metaphysics; science; structuralism; truth | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-2844-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4823-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-2844-7Series ISSN 0921-8599 Series E-ISSN 2542-8349 | issn_series | 0921-8599 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1997 |
