- Cartwright’s philosophy of science is empiricism in the style of Neurath and Mill, rather than of Hume or Carnap.

- She is concerned with how actual science achieves the successes, and what sort of metaphysical and epistemological presuppositions are needed to understand that success.

p.1 #2

- Cartwright takes a rather pragmatic/realist stance toward observations and interventions.

p.1 #3

- practitioners of the Stanford School of history/philosophy of science: Pat Suppes, John Dupré, Ian Hacking, Margaret Morrison, Peter Galison, and Nancy Cartwright

카트라이트의 주요 사례들은 경제학과 물리학에서 가져옴.
