在分析前，我们都是科学实在论者。但是，哲学家和科学家在被迫进行分析时都会感到不舒服。就科学家而言，这种不适感往往来自于实际困难，因为他们很难提出一套仔细描述的对象，以充分解释他们所关注的现象。本文为当代物理学家提供了一组这些困难的代表性例子。这些例子挑战了传统的现实主义观点，即成熟的科学活动是朝着本体论定义良好的世界图景而奋斗。他们也挑战了反现实主义的替代品。
Preanalytically, we are all scientific realists. But both philosophers and scientists become uncomfortable when forced into analysis. In the case of scientists, this discomfort often arises from practical difficulties in setting out a carefully described set of objects which adequately account for the phenomena with which they are concerned. This paper offers a set of representative examples of these difficulties for contemporary physicists. These examples challenge the traditional realist vision of mature scientific activity as struggling toward an ontologically well-defined world picture. They challenge antirealist alternatives as well.
