Exploring the nuances of structural realism, the author delves into its two forms: epistemic and ontic. The book traces the historical roots of structural realism and its relevance to linguistics, while introducing a novel neutralist perspective that bridges the gap between scientific realism and antirealism. This neutralist approach advocates for a more modest stance, reducing ontological commitments and presenting a balanced solution to ongoing debates in the philosophy of science.
