Inhaltsangabe

Science, Reality, and Language criticizes the anti-realist stance currently flourishing in philosophy of science and shows that many contemporary philosophers of science, although they define themselves empiricists, have evolved into "linguistic idealists". After emphasizing that most practicing scientists find the linguistically oriented philosophy of science useless, the author concludes is that a naturalistic philosophy of science is needed in which language is no longer taken to be the whole of reality, but just a human product created for practical and social purposes.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book promises to transform the terms of the current debate between realism and anti-realism, and to reestablish some form of naturalism and, in the process, some form of sanity to the current practice of philosophy of science.
