  • The crowbar model of method and its implications& Thomas Nickles Filosofía to Models Realism The Tools Digital Physics There is a rough, long-term tradeoff between rate of innovation and degree of strong realism in scientific practice, a point reflected in historically changing conceptions of method as they retreat from epistemological foundationism to a highly fallibilistic, modeling perspective. The successively more liberal, innovation-stimulating methods open up to investigation deep theoretical domains at the cost, in many cases, of moving away from strong realism as a likely outcome of research. The crowbar model of method highlights this tension, expressed as the crowbar compromise and the crowbar fallacy. The tools-to-theories heuristic, described and evaluated by Gigerenzer and colleagues, can be regarded as an at- tempt by some scientific realists to overcome this compromise. Instead, it is an instance of it. Nonetheless, in successful applications the crowbar model implies a modest, instrumental (nonrepresentational) realism. 2019 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339767305004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767305004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767305004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767305004/339767305004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767305004/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
