Magnus	Success, Truth and the Galilean Strategy	2003	10	.pdf	application/pdf	4168	279	62	constructivists and empiricists, on matters both semantic and epistemic, he deploys the Galilean Strategy—a move to show that methods of settling questions about unobjectionable, observable matters should be relied on to settle Methods of justification, like Galileo's telescope, can only be validated by examining the conclusions about observables to which they The constructive empiricist may reply that the boundary between the observable and the unobservable, vague though it may be, is principled. Rather, he considers the realist inference from the success of a theory to the Taking inference from success to truth as M , GS1 is satisfied. GS1k Inferring truth from success provides correct answers up to and along the Realists claim that the best explanation of the success of science is the approximate truth of scientific theories. telescopes and microscopes are pointed at observables or unobservables, they the microscope cannot be extended to the success-to-truth inference.7 Why Kitcher has realist intuitions, but van Fraassen has empiricist	./cache/work_loz6d74ykvbupmqfist3rxacdi.pdf	./txt/work_loz6d74ykvbupmqfist3rxacdi.txt
