Anjan Chakravartty

Anjan Chakravartty is a philosopher known for exploring the connections between metaphysics and the philosophy of science. He examines how scientific theories relate to the nature of reality, emphasizing the importance of scientific practice in understanding concepts like causation, laws of nature, and the existence of entities posited by science. Chakravartty argues for a view called "scientific realism," which suggests that scientific theories can provide true descriptions of the world, even if they evolve over time. His work encourages a deeper understanding of how scientific knowledge informs our perception of reality and the underlying structures of the natural world.
