This 1983 book is a lively and clearly written introduction to the philosophy of natural science, organized around the central theme of scientific realism. It has two parts. 'Representing' deals with the different philosophical accounts of scientific objectivity and the reality of scientific entities. The views of Kuhn, Feyerabend, Lakatos, Putnam, van Fraassen, and others, are all considered. 'Intervening' presents the first sustained treatment of experimental science for many years and uses it to give a new direction to debates about realism. Hacking illustrates how experimentation often has a life independent of theory. He argues that although the philosophical problems of scientific realism can not be resolved when put in terms of theory alone, a sound philosophy of experiment provides compelling grounds for a realistic attitude. A great many scientific examples are described in both parts of the book, which also includes lucid expositions of recent high energy physics and a remarkable chapter on the microscope in cell biology.
作者简介《表征与干预:自然科学哲学主题导论》的内容分“表征”和“干预”两个部分。“表征”部分探讨了科学实在论问题,分析了库恩、费耶阿本德、拉卡托斯、普特南、范·弗拉森等人的观点,“干预’部分财首次对实验科学进行了深入研究,表明实验具有独立干理论的生命,从而给出了实在论之争的新方向。作者论证,如果我们能够利用理论概念通过实验成功地干预世界,那么这些理论概念就是实在的。他的实体实在论或实验实在论已成为科学实在论的要要流派之一。
