總結: | Realism is questioned from two sides, the philosophy of science and religion. First, the "underdetermination of theories by data" and the revision of the "miracle argument" make it necessary to revise scientific realism.

Both discussions show that we have to further develop realism. I propose to consider truth, meaning, experience, and transcendence as creative characteristics of a realistic thought. They enable us to make and receive meaning for facts. |
