AUTHOR
SUMMARY
This volume argues that history reveals our routine failure to even conceive of well-confirmed alternatives to our scientific theories, and similar alternatives to our own theories likely remain unconceived. It shows why defences of scientific realism cannot evade the problem and proposes an alternative image of the scientific enterprise.Stanford, P. Kyle is the author of 'Exceeding Our Grasp Science, History, And the Problem of Unconceived Alternatives', published 2006 under ISBN 9780195174083 and ISBN 0195174089.
