Perspectival Realism - Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Massimi, Michela (Professor of Philosophy of Science, Professor of Philosophy of Science, The University of Edinburgh)
What does it mean to be a realist about science if one takes seriously the view that scientific knowledge is always perspectival, namely historically and culturally situated? In Perspectival Realism, Michela Massimi explores how scientific knowledge grows and evolves thanks to a plurality of epistemic communities occupying a number of scientific perspectives. The result is a philosophical view that goes under the name of "perspectival realism", and it offersa new lens for thinking about scientific knowledge, realism and pluralism in science.
