Images of Science: Essays on Realism and Empiricism, with a Reply from Bas C. van Fraassen

Abstract

Churchland and Hooker have collected ten papers by prominent philosophers of science which challenge van Fraassen's thesis from a variety of realist perspectives. Together with van Fraassen's extensive reply . . . these articles provide a comprehensive picture of the current debate in philosophy of science between realists and anti-realists.-Jeffrey Bub and David MacCallum, Foundations of Physics Letters
