Stathis Psillos

Stathis Psillos is a philosopher known for his work on scientific realism, which argues that scientific theories accurately describe the world, including unobservable aspects like atoms and forces. He defends realism against anti-realists who claim that scientific theories are merely useful tools without truth about the world. Psillos emphasizes the role of scientific practice and evidence in supporting realist views. By examining how science operates and evolves, he aims to show that our best theories can provide genuine insights into reality, bridging the gap between what we observe and the deeper structures of nature.
