1. 1. Realism For Realistic People

   

   An accessible, historically informed defense of a modest, practice-centered scientific realism that rejects sweeping metaphysical claims and instead grounds belief in science on what successful experimental intervention and reliable methods reveal; it argues for a pluralistic, fallibilist realism focused on entities and activities that scientists can manipulate and reproduce, uses historical case studies to show how theories change while certain experimental capacities persist, and urges realist commitments to be pragmatic, limited, and continually subject to revision rather than absolutist endorsements of entire theoretical systems.
