But the  precise nature of the issues that form the focus of the debate remains  controversial. In \u003cem\u003eRealism and Explanatory Priority\u003c\/em\u003e a new way of  viewing the debate is developed. The primary focus is not on the  notions of existence, truth or reference, but rather on independence.  A notion of independence is developed using concepts derived from the  theory of explanation. It is argued that this approach enables us to  clarify the exact nature of the empirical evidence that would be  required to establish Realism in any area. The author defends a  restricted form of Realism, which he calls Nomic Structuralism. \u003cbr\u003e  The book will be suitable for professional philosophers of language,  science and metaphysics, and their graduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792344841\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2844-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 334\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481647509644,"sku":"9780792344841","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792344841.jpg?v=1771514046","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792344841","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
