Title: The Bearable Thinness of Being: A Pragmatist Metaphysics of Affordances
Abstract: Taking a pragmatist stance toward the practices and products of science shapes our answers to
central philosophical questions. I will explicate how scientists’ conceptual and
representational practices work in concert with their observational and experimental ones to
stabilize acceptance of claims of scientific realism.
