1. 1. The Limits Of Realism

   

   This book critically examines the case for scientific realism, assessing standard defenses (such as the no‑miracles argument and appeals to explanatory power) alongside challenges from theory change, underdetermination, and empirical equivalence; it argues that realist commitment must be constrained and selective, grounded in the practices and evidential warrant of particular scientific contexts rather than adopted as an all‑purpose metaphysical stance, and offers criteria for when realist claims are justified while identifying domains where more modest or structural approaches are preferable.
