Not only does the abandonment of physicalism remove these philosophical puzzles, but insistence on physicalism ultimately undermines the very possibility of natural science as a branch of theoretical inquiry. Having defended an alternative philosophy of nature elsewhere, the author applies these results to the defense of a chastened scientific realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52724219150643,"sku":"9798586990563","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/M016aFo2UmJQakJGQTIwSmZ4Nkh4Zz09.webp?v=1763686778","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/physicalism-and-scientific-realism-how-scientism-undermines-science-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
