The Upward Path to Structural Realism

Votsis, Ioannis (2005) The Upward Path to Structural Realism. Philosophy of Science, 72 (5). pp. 1361-1372.

Abstract

In a recent PSA paper (2001a), as well as some other papers (1995, 2000, 2001b) and a book chapter (1999, Chapter 7), Stathis Psillos raised a number of objections against structural realism. The aim of this paper is threefold: (1) to evaluate part of Psillos’ offence on the Russellian version of epistemic structural realism (ESR); (2) to elaborate more fully what Russellian ESR involves; and (3) to suggest improvements where it is indeed failing.
