Science and Partial Truth: A Unitary Approach to Models and Scientific Reasoning - Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Da Costa, Newton C. A. (Institute of Advanced Studies, Institute of Advanced Studies, University of Sao Paolo)
Da Costa and French explore the consequences of adopting a 'pragmatic' notion of truth in the philosophy of science. Their framework sheds new light on issues to do with belief, theory acceptance, and the realism-antirealism debate, as well as the nature of scientific models and their heuristic development.
