Description

The scientific realism issue, a debate concerning the approximate truth of successful scientific theories, is one of the most discussed topics in philosophy of science. Especially, the last 36-years saw the emergence of a sophisticated version of anti-realism and anti-realistic arguments, and they brought about lively discussions on this topic.
   After various points were made and possible versions of realism were suggested through those discussions, philosophers of science now examine more closely the tenability of each version of realism or revisit the old problems from new perspectives. This workshop, supported by Center for Applied Philosophy & Ethics (CAPE) at Kyoto University, invites scholars over the world working on this topic and aims to promote exchange of ideas on their on-going projects.
