Science and Partial Truth: A Unitary Approach to Models and Scientific Reasoning (Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science) - Hardcover
Book 3 of 19: Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Synopsis
Da Costa and French explore the consequences of adopting a "pragmatic" notion of truth in the philosophy of science--in other words, accepting a theory as valid when it may only be partially true rather than wholly true. Their framework sheds new light on issues dealing with belief, theory acceptance, and the realism-antirealism debate, as well as the nature of scientific models and their heuristic development.
