Modal empiricism is the view that the aim of science is to provide theories that correctly delimit, in a unified way, the range of experiences that are naturally possible given our position in the world. The view is associated with a pragmatic account of scientific representation and an original notion of situated modalities, together with an inductive epistemology for modalities. It purports to provide a faithful account of scientific practice and of its impressive achievements, and defuses the main motivations for scientific realism. More generally, Modal Empiricism purports to be the precise articulation of a pragmatist stance towards science. This book is of interest to any philosopher involved in the debate on scientific realism, or interested in how to properly understand the content, aim and achievements of science. 001436492 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 11, 2021). 001436492 650_0 $$aScience$$xPhilosophy. 001436492 650_0 $$aModality (Logic) 001436492 650_6 $$aModalité (Logique) 001436492 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001436492 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRuyant, Quentin.$$tModal empiricism.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, [2021]$$z3030723488$$z9783030723484$$w(OCoLC)1241071513 001436492 830_0 $$aSynthese library ;$$vv. 440.$$x0166-6991 001436492 852__ $$bebk 001436492 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-72349-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001436492 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1436492$$pGLOBAL_SET 001436492 980__ $$aBIB 001436492 980__ $$aEBOOK 001436492 982__ $$aEbook 001436492 983__ $$aOnline 001436492 994__ $$a92$$bISE
