Peter Smith, "Realism and the Progress of Science" [Book Review]
Philosophical Quarterly 32 (28):288 (1982)

I describe Smith's very modest aims and argue that there is an over-expenditure of sophisticated philosophy of language to defend a common sense realism about relatively recent science.Author's Profile
