Overview
In Seeing Things, Robert Hudson argues that robustness reasoning lacks the special value it is often claimed to have. Robustness reasoning claims that an observation report is more likely to be true if the report is produced by multiple, independent sources. The book's subsidiary goal is to repudiate a highly popular approach to scientific realism called "(theoretical) preservationism," and alternatively to defend 'methodological preservationism', a new form of realism that recognizes the fundamental value of naked eye observation.
