Perspectival realism combines two apparently contradictory aspects: the epistemic relativity of perspectives and the mind-independence of realism. This paper examines the prospects for a coherent perspectival realism, taking the literature on scientific representation as a starting point. It is argued that representation involves two types of norms, referred to as norms of relevance and norms of accuracy. Norms of relevance fix the domain of application of a theory and the way it categorises the world, and norms of accuracy give the conditions for the theory to be true. Perspectival realism could be made coherent by taking a realist stance towards one type of norm, and a perspectival stance towards the other, by assuming they are relative to a community. This provides two versions of perspectival realism, called relevance perspectivism and accuracy perspectivism. How each option fares with respect to the challenge of incompatible models is examined. Finally, the prospects of full perspectivism are evaluated.

透视现实主义和科学代表性规范

透视现实主义结合了两个明显矛盾的方面:观点的认知相对论和现实主义的心理独立性。本文以科学表示的文献为起点,探讨了一种连贯的透视现实主义的前景。有人认为,表示涉及两种类型的规范,即相关性规范和准确性规范。相关性规范确定了一种理论的应用范围及其对世界进行分类的方式,而准确性规范则为该理论成为现实提供了条件。通过对一种类型的规范采取现实主义的立场,而对另一种类型的规范采取相对于社区的观点主义的态度,则可以使这种观点具有连贯性。这提供了两种视角的现实主义,称为关联视角和准确性视角。研究了每个选项如何应对不兼容模型的挑战。最后,对完全透视主义的前景进行了评估。
