Abstract

There are several existing arguments against scientific realism which rely on the notion that key alternatives are (synchronically or diachronically) inconceivable. But there are other such arguments which have remained unarticulated. In this paper presentation, Rowbottom would chart the possibility space of such arguments, and outline some promising novel arguments for anti-realism.
