This, then, is the object of the present book, which will recon sider the newer concerns about scientific realism in the context of these older philosophical themes. Historically, realism concerns itself with the real existence of things that do not "meet the eye" - with suprasensible entities that lie beyond the reach of human perception. In medieval times, discussions about realism focused upon universals. Recognizing that there are physical objects such as cats and triangular objects and red tomatoes, the medievels debated whether such "abstract objects" as cathood and triangularity and redness also exist by way of having a reality indepen dent of the concretely real things that exhibit them. Three fundamen tally different positions were defended: (1) | | 出版日期 | Book 1987 | | 关键词 | realism | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-3905-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-277-2528-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-3905-9Series ISSN 1566-659X Series E-ISSN 2215-1974 | | issn_series | 1566-659X | | copyright | D.
