The book addresses the challenge of relativism in post-empiricist philosophy of science by emphasizing the role of data domains created by scientific instruments. Ackermann argues that these instruments allow for a separation of observation from theory, thereby establishing a foundation for scientific objectivity. His analysis provides a fresh perspective on how data and theory interact, offering insights into the nature of scientific inquiry and the reliability of empirical observations.
