In this paper, I assess recent claims in philosophy of science about scientific perspectivism being compatible with realism. I clarify the rationale for scientific perspectivism and the problems and challenges that perspectivism faces in delivering a form of realism. In particular, I concentrate my attention on truth, and on ways in which truth can be understood in perspectival terms. I offer a cost-benefit analysis of each of them and defend a version that in my view is most promising in living up to realist expectations.
在本文中,我评估了科学哲学中近期有关科学视角主义与实在论相容的主张。我阐明了科学视角主义的基本原理,以及视角主义在提供一种实在论形式时所面临的问题和挑战。特别地,我将注意力集中在真理上,以及真理如何能从视角的角度来理解。我对每一种理解方式都进行了成本效益分析,并捍卫了一种在我看来最有希望符合实在论期望的版本。
