Against this background, the aim of the talk is twofold: I will firstly discuss the main assumptions behind those arguments according to which the PO programme can overcome Laudan\u2019s induction and offer a scale-invariant ontology, showing possible counterexamples to these claims. Secondly, I will argue that the realism introduced by the PO approach can be consistently interpreted as <em>internal realism<\/em>, i.e., I will show that the internal realist view can faithfully represent the ontological commitment (and its limits) implied by the acceptance of a given PO theory, capturing also the pluralist stance of this programme as originally conceived by David Bohm and John S. Bell.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The room has a limited number of seats. Pre-registration is required at &lt;info@lancog.com&gt; until a day before the event.
