Scientific realism says that scientific theories describe the world in an approximately true way. In general, this thesis is committed to the alethic monism (there is only one truth). This becomes a problem if we take real cases of underdetermination of theory by data, as in quantum mechanics. The problem is to specify how we can be realist with only one among several alternatives, if ass…
