Science and Partial Truth: A Unitary Approach to Models and Scientific Reasoning
New York, US: Oup Usa (2003)
Abstract
Da Costa and French explore the consequences of adopting a 'pragmatic' notion of truth in the philosophy of science. Their framework sheds new light on issues to do with belief, theory acceptance, and the realism-antirealism debate, as well as the nature of scientific models and their heuristic development.Author's Profile
