书名: Philosophy of Language and the Challenge to Scientific Realism (Critical Realism: Interventions)
作者: Christopher Norris (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (November 7, 2003)

ISBN-13: 978-0415327862
Book Description
In this book Christopher Norris develops the case for scientific realism by tackling various adversary arguments from a range of anti-realist positions. Through a close critical reading he shows how they fail to make adequate sense on any rational, consistent and scientifically informed survey of the evidence. Along the way he incorporates a number of detailed case-studies from the history and philosophy of science. Also included are the sophisticated versions of verificationism developed by thinkers such as Michael Dummett and Bas van Fraassen. Central to Norris's argument is a prolonged engagement with the once highly influential but nowadays neglected work of Norwood Russell Hanson.
