Cartwright, Nancy
Nancy Cartwright Argues For A Novel Conception Of The Role Of Fundamental Scientific Laws In Modern Natural Science. If We Attend Closely To The Manner In Which Theoretical Laws Figure In The Practice Of Science, We See That Despite Their Great Explanatory Power These Laws Do Not Describe Reality. Instead, Fundamental Laws Describe Highly Idealized Objects In Models.
