Science and Partial Truth —— A Unitary Approach to Models and Scientific Reasoning

----- 科学与部分真理：模型与科学推理的统一方法

ISBN: 9780195156515 出版年：2006 页码：270 da Costa, Newton C A French, Steven Oxford University Press

Da Costa and French explore the consequences of adopting a "pragmatic" notion of truth in the philosophy of science-in other words, accepting a theory as valid when it may only be partially true rather than wholly true. Their framework sheds new light on issues dealing with belief, theory acceptance, and the realism-antirealism debate, as well as the nature of scientific models and their heuristic development.
