A Realist Theory of Science
Review of Metaphysics 33 (3):619-619 (1980)
Abstract
First published in 1975 by Leeds Books Ltd., this second, revised edition adds only a short, twelve page Postscript and an Index. The former replies to reviews of the original edition by clarifying the use of two key terms, by commenting on its principal weaknesses, and by indicating the direction of further work required by the position advocated.Other Versions
