Rein Vihalemm (1938–2015) was an Estonian philosopher of science who left two significant and enduring philosophical-methodological legacies: a methodological distinction of scientific disciplines and the practical realist philosophy of science. Edited by Ave Mets, Endla Lõhkivi, Peeter Müürsepp, and Jaana Eigi-Watkin, Practical Realist Philosophy of Science: Reflecting on Rein Vihalemm's Ideas explores these fruits and their applications through three main ideas: the backgrounds of the practical approach, the metaphysics of practices, and special sciences. The first part features authors who juxtapose Vihalemms approach with those of prominent philosophers on the practical and material basis of cognition, providing support and refinement to his framework. The second part delves into the metaphysical aspects of science and practices, comprehending them. The third part centers around examples of Vihalemms approach to specific scientific disciplines within chemistry, biology, and humanities. These diverse implications, supported by solid ground and compelling argumentation, offer an original contribution to this field.
