Structural realism versus deployment realism: A comparative evaluation.
In this paper I challenge and adjudicate between the two positions that have come to prominence in the scientific realism debate: deployment realism and structural realism. I discuss a set of cases from the history of celestial mechanics, including some of the most important successes in the history of science. To the surprise of the deployment realist, these are novel predictive successes towa...
متن کاملBartering for time: realism versus hope.
The issue of third-party reimbursement also came up. “We hope the guidelines will help with reimbursement with some of these therapies by becoming standard practice,” Denlinger said. “But we don’t yet know.” Similarly, Philippe Spiess, M.D., genitourinary oncologist at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., and a member of NCCN’s bladder/penile cancer panel, said that uncertainty surround...
متن کاملImpressionism and Surrealism in Multiparticle Dynamics
Peter Carruthers, the scientist, was a man of remarkable mathematical and physical culture. He had also something which is less common now a days, namely a profound physical intuition which guided him to approach in an original way the most interesting problems at a given moment and in this way he became a guide also for others. Multiparticle dynamics being by definition a many-body problem, it...
متن کاملStructural realism versus standard scientific realism: the case of phlogiston and dephlogisticated air
The aim of this paper is to revisit the phlogiston theory to see what can be learned from it about the relationship between scientific realism, approximate truth and successful reference. It is argued that phlogiston theory did to some extent correctly describe the causal or nomological structure of the world, and that some of its central terms can be regarded as referring. However, it is concl...
متن کاملStatistical-Realism versus Wave-Realism in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Different realistic attitudes towards wavefunctions and quantum states are as old as quantum theory itself. Recently Pusey, Barret and Rudolph (PBR) on the one hand, and Auletta and Tarozzi (AT) on the other, have proposed new interesting arguments in favor of a broad realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics that can be considered the modern heir to some views held by the fathers of quantu...
