基尔霍夫的衍射理论作为一个新的案例研究中的现实主义的争论。这个理论是非常成功的，尽管它是不一致的，甚至不是近似正确的。面对基尔霍夫的理论，一些习惯性的现实主义宣言根本无法维持，因为现实主义者被迫承认，在某些情况下，理论的成功可以用真理以外的术语来解释。的特质（或其他）基尔霍夫的情况下被认为是。1引言2天真的乐观主义者3基尔霍夫的理论4基尔霍夫理论中的不一致和不真实4.1不一致之谜4.2容错之谜5现实主义的分支6结论1引言2天真的乐观主义者3基尔霍夫的理论4基尔霍夫理论中的不一致和不真实4.1不一致之谜4.2错误-宽容之谜4.1不一致之谜4.2错误容忍之谜5现实主义的分支6结论
Kirchhoff’s diffraction theory is introduced as a new case study in the realism debate. The theory is extremely successful despite being both inconsistent and not even approximately true. Some habitual realist proclamations simply cannot be maintained in the face of Kirchhoff’s theory, as the realist is forced to acknowledge that theoretical success can in some circumstances be explained in terms other than truth. The idiosyncrasy (or otherwise) of Kirchhoff’s case is considered. 1 Introduction 2 The Naïve Optimist 3 Kirchhoff’s Theory 4 Inconsistency and Untruth in Kirchhoff’s Theory 4.1 The inconsistency puzzle 4.2 The error-tolerance puzzle 5 Ramifications for Realism 6 Conclusion 1 Introduction 2 The Naïve Optimist 3 Kirchhoff’s Theory 4 Inconsistency and Untruth in Kirchhoff’s Theory 4.1 The inconsistency puzzle 4.2 The error-tolerance puzzle 4.1 The inconsistency puzzle 4.2 The error-tolerance puzzle 5 Ramifications for Realism 6 Conclusion
