The three main theses are: (1) Any "grasping" of real objects, processes, entities etc. is deeply dependent on scheme interpretations and interpretative constructs - in short, on using schemes and constructs; the same applies to any sophisticated actions encroaching on reality; (2) a sophisticated interpretation-dependenSeries on the foundations of natural science and technology ;5.Knowledge, Theory ofRealismSciencePhilosophyKnowledge, Theory of.Realism.SciencePhilosophy.121Lenk Hans152159MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782285503321Grasping reality3831386UNINA
