Science (Might Not) Care about the Truth | #18 Dr. Barry Loewer

from The Uncertainty Podcast · host Miles K. Donahue

Dr. Barry Loewer, professor of philosophy at Rutgers University, joins me to discuss the merits of scientific anti-realism, the view, roughly, that our best scientific theories do not attempt to capture the truth about the world. We also talk about the relationship between science and philosophy. It's good stuff. To support my efforts to explore interesting topics with interesting people, consider donating here.
