Exceeding Our Grasp

- Science, History, and the Problem of Unconceived Alternatives

About Exceeding Our Grasp

History reveals our routine failure to even conceive of well-confirmed alternatives to our scientific theories, Stanford argues, and similar alternatives to our own theories likely remain presently unconceived. Stanford shows why existing defences of scientific realism cannot evade the problem and propose an alternative positive image of the scientific enterprise.
