Does Scientific Realism Beg the Question?
Informal Logic, 1996 In a series of influential articles, the anti-realist Arthur Fine has repeatedly charged that a certain very popular argument for scientific realism, that only realism can explain the instrumental success of science, begs the question. I argue that on no

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Scientific Realism and High-Energy Physics
, 2017 The article discusses the implications of high-energy physics for the scientific realism debate. After a brief introduction to high-energy physics, the anti-realist import of the erosion of intuition-based concepts in the context of high-energy physics ...

Scientific Realism and Basic Common Sense [PDF]
, 2014 This paper considers the relationship between science and common sense. It takes as its point of departure, Eddington’s distinction between the table of physics and the table of common sense, as well as Eddington’s suggestion that science shows common ...

Myths and Falsehoods about Scientific Realism
Artefactos, 2018 Selective realist projects seek to strengthen scientific realism, but influential reactions (from anti-realist as well as realist camps) regard selectivist achievements as problematic and misguided developments, because -the story goes- those ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Scientific realism and the history of science [PDF]
, 2005 The paper considers the two main challenges to scientific realism, stemming from confirmation holism and the underdetermination thesis as well as from semantic holism and the incommensurability thesis. Against the first challenge, it is argued that there

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Why the Ultimate Argument for Scientific Realism Ultimately Fails [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper, I argue that the ultimate argument for Scientific Realism, also known as the No-Miracles Argument (NMA), ultimately fails as an abductive defence of Epistemic Scientific Realism (ESR), where (ESR) is the thesis that successful theories of ...

Realism about What? Unobservable Entities and the Metaphysics of Modality
Filosofia Unisinos, 2016 Most philosophers who advocate Scientific Realism (SR) endorse also Modal Realism (MR), i.e., assume commitments with objective modality. However, the precise relationship between these positions has been scarcely explored.
