Resources of Realism

Focusing on epistemology, philosophical semantics, and the philosophy of science, this work advocates for a causal-realist perspective on scientific theories and a truth-based semantics for natural language, influenced by William Empson. It critiques anti-realist views concerning scientific truth claims and the interpretation of intentions, meanings, and beliefs in language. The book's clear style and robust arguments make it a valuable resource for educators and students in philosophy, critical theory, science studies, and the history of ideas.
