Scientific Anti-Realism is a philosophical view that questions the existence of an objective reality that science describes. It suggests that scientific theories are not necessarily true representations of the world but are instead useful tools for predicting and explaining observations. This perspective emphasizes that our understanding of the universe is shaped by human experiences and interpretations rather than an absolute truth.
Proponents of Scientific Anti-Realism, like Bas van Fraassen, argue that since scientific theories can change over time, we should be cautious in claiming they reveal the true nature of reality. Instead, they focus on the practical success of science in making predictions, rather than its ability to uncover an underlying reality.
