摘要:Carnap’s conception of linguistic frameworks is widespread; however, it is notentirely clear nor consensual to pinpoint what is the influence in his stance within the tradi-tional realist/anti-realist debate. In this paper, we place Carnap as a proponent of a scientificrealist stance, by presenting what he called “linguistic realism”. Some possible criticisms areconsidered, and a case study is offered with wave function realism, a popular position in thephilosophy of quantum mechanics.
