This article combines an appreciation of several themes in Josh Reeves's Against Methodology in Science and Religion: Recent Debates on Rationality and Theology while arguing in favor of critical realism. The author holds that critical realism manages to combine the objective truth reached through inference and especially cognitive acts of judgment as well as the various, contingent historical contexts that also define where science is practiced. Reeves advocates a historical perspective, but this article claims that in order for critical realism to be credible, a philosophical perspective must be maintained.

批判现实主义REDUX：对乔弗里斯的回应

本文结合了乔希·里夫斯（Josh Reeves）的《反对科学和宗教方法论：近期关于理性与神学的辩论》中的几个主题，同时主张支持批判现实主义。作者认为，批判现实主义设法将通过推论得出的客观事实，尤其是判断的认知行为，以及也定义科学实践地点的各种偶然的历史背景相结合。里夫斯主张历史观点，但本文主张，为了使批判现实主义可信，必须保持哲学观点。
