This book offers a vigorous and constructive challenge to relativism by examining a wide range of anti-realist theories, and in response offering a variety of arguments amounting to a strong defence of critical realism in the natural and social sciences.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. Blackwell Publishers Ltd., Oxford, UK, 1997. Softcover (15 x 23 cm), 330 pages. ISBN: 0631198652. Bumped, scuffed. Rolled, creased at corners. Skewed, slanted spine. Tight binding, clean textblock. "This books presents a vigorous and constructive challenge to various schools of anti-realist and cultural-relativist thought. By examining a wide range of such theories, the author is abel to highlight the problems, including the ethical delimmas, to which they give rise, and in response offer a variety of arguments amounting to a strong defence of critical realism in the natural and social sciences. These arguments are drawn from a wide range of sources such as theoretical physics, philosophical semantics, epistemology, deconstruction and critical theory. There are also detailed case-study chapters on the history of aerodynamics and the controversies, past and present, surrounding Boyle's famous series of air-pump experiments. Norris's book will thus be of interest to both students and scholars in the various fields, demonstrating as it does the incoherence of anti-realist and social-constructionist doctrines."
