Title: Scientific Realism and Human Emancipation
First published: 1986
Description: This book starts from an assessment of the impasse of contemporary philosophy of science which stems from an incomplete critique of positivism. It then proceeds to a systematic exposition of scientific realism in the form of transcendental realism. This highlights a conception of science as explanatory of a structured differentiated and changing world.
