Natural classification: Pierre Duhem's continuity thesis and the resolution of positivism (1991)

unapi

Description “... an examination of Duhem's critique of Copernicus's and Galileo's realism shows that Duhem held a form of instrumentalism that was qualified by acceptance of a common-sense form of realism and by Duhem's notion of natural classification. The result is a more balanced account of Duhem's views about both the philosophy of science and the history of science.”
