The scientific realism/antirealism debate in contemporary philosophy of science is about theoretical knowledge, that is, knowledge that is supposed to be about so-called "unobservables." This includes theoretical entities, such as neutrinos and genes, as well as theoretical processes, such as ...
The decision whether to have a realist or an anti-realist attitude towards scientific hypotheses is interpreted in this paper as a choice that scientists themselves have to face in their work as scientists, rather than as a ‘philosophical’ problem. Scientists’ choices between realism and instrume...

During recent decades in which political scientists have been debating positivism, the official philosophers of science have made a radical about-face and declared logical positivism defunct. The philosophers of science have adopted a new metaphysic, scientific realism, which turns away from the positivi...

Some interpretations of quantum field theory suggest that the quantum vacuum is filled with virtual particle-antiparticle pairs that constantly fluctuate into and out of existence. The characteristic timescale of these fluctuations is related to the Compton time, t_C = ħ/mc^2 ≈ 1.288 x 10^...
