More about the book

The exploration of scientific theories reveals that they are often underdetermined by their data, a concept that challenges both scientific realists and methodologists. The author delves into the epistemological and ontological aspects of this debate, scrutinizing arguments for and against underdetermination. By examining logical facts and specific scientific cases, he also discusses methodological approaches and contemporary theories of confirmation. This critical analysis includes a sympathetic yet discerning look at Quine and Putnam's contributions, making it relevant for those in the philosophy of science.
