Structural Realism, Then and Now
-
Description
-
Henri Poincaré worried that the ephemeral nature of scientific théories could be seen as amounting to the "bankruptcy of science". Recently his defense of scientific solvency has been understood as a kind of realism, structural realism. I begin by sorting realism from objectivity in the background of this conception, looking briefly at Russell and Weyl in addition to Poincaré. I then move to a critical examination of the current status of this form of realism.
