Sоme sаy the hоlistic underdeterminаtiоn pаradox shows that no scientific hypothesis can ever be tested in isolation, which clearly implies that we cannot know whether any single part of a theory is true or false. Combined with Hume’s insight that inductive reasoning cannot be justified, this makes it obvious that we have no reason to think any of our scientific theories are better than wild guesses. And yet Devitt insists that we should believe in unobservable entities like electrons because science “works.” But this begs the question, since van Fraassen rightly argues that empirical adequacy is all we ever observe, and so all we should believe in. Because of the holistic entanglement of our theories and the impossibility of justifying induction, the only reasonable position is that no scientific theory ever tells us anything true about reality — not even approximately. Thus, the realist position collapses, and anti-realism is the only stance compatible with rationality. Essay Question: Provide two well-targeted objections to the soundness of the above argument, explaining the relevant details of the course materials that are relevant to your target and your objection to it. Hint: This argument engages with the Holistic Underdetermination Problem, Hume’s Problem of Induction, and the Scientific Realism vs. Anti-Realism debate (especially Devitt vs. van Fraassen).
