Review
"An excellent extree to the current debates on this topic, as seen by van Fraassenn who is probably the most direct and severe opponent of scientific realism." -- Review of Metaphysics
"A most useful and stimulating book. It brings together some of the main strands in the 'dialectic' of post-positivist analytic philosophy, and moreover, it does this with lucidity, charm, erudition, and great intelligence....Would make an excellent text for a middle to upper-level course in contemporary philosophy of science." -- Journal of Philosophy
"Important not only for its contributions to special topics such as the theory of explanation and the use of probability, but important also for its detailed and sustained critique of scientific realism." -- Philosophy of Science
