Abstract

It is great to see that, after all, there are some books that recognize technology as a topic which might have some impact on philosophical discourse. Even the importance of real experiments was not appreciated in philosophy of science until recently, except as means to support or refute scientific theories. In this book, Hans Radder present a new kind of “referential realism” which believes that the work of philosophy of science can be ‘In and About’ the world.
