Scientific Realism in Particle Physics : a Causal Approach.
Egg, Matthias.
Scientific Realism in Particle Physics : a Causal Approach. - Berlin : De Gruyter, 2014. - 1 online resource (200 pages) - Epistemische Studien ; v. 29 . - Deutsche Hochschulschriften. Epistemische Studien. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-185) and index.
Part I. The recent debate on scientific realism -- Part II. Causal realism -- Part III. The quantum challenge.
Does particle physics really describe the basic constituents of the material world or is it just a useful tool for deriving empirical predictions? This book proposes a novel answer to that question, emphasizing the importance of causal reasoning for the justification of scientific claims. It thereby responds to general worries about scientific realism as well as to more specific challenges stemming from the interpretation of quantum physics.
