Ihde is perhaps uniquely situated to provide authoritative accounts of such diverse philosophical traditions as those involved in current explorations of the technology of scientific instruments.... Ihdes book breaks new ground and... makes an important debate accessible. Robert AckermannInstrumental Realism has three principal aims: to advocate a praxis-perception approach to the philosophy of science; to explore ways in which such an approach offers a mutually illuminating overlap with a philosophy of technology; and to examine comparatively and critically the work of some who advocate an instrumental realist approach to the philosophy of science.

PREFACE
Nearing its sixth decade as a subdiscipline in philosophy, the philosophy of science clearly can be said to be established. Now at the end of its first decade as an organized subdiscipline, the philosophy of technology is still having birth pangs. This monograph, a primer really, enters an interstice between these two subspecializations with several purposes in mind:
First, not only is there a difference between middle age and youth in the two subdisciplines, but the two are only vaguely related. The philosophy of science, today becoming more diverse than it once was, nevertheless has had a strong lineage connection with the Anglo-American philosophies. Positivismalthough of continental birthbecame strong when it fled the continent and found itself in a favorable position in North American universities in the very beginnings of this subdiscipline. Later, other analytically inclined directions became revisionist but remained dominant. By contrast, the loose groupings of philosophers who were interested early in philosophy of technology in North America tended to come from Marxist, phenomenological, and theological backgrounds, as well as from the older versions of pragmatism. Thus, in addition to an age difference, there was also a parentage difference.
