《表征与干预:自然科学哲学主题导论》的内容分“表征”和“干预”两个部分。“表征”部分探讨了科学实在论问题，分析了库恩、费耶阿本德、拉卡托斯、普特南、范·弗拉森等人的观点，“干预’部分财首次对实验科学进行了深入研究，表明实验具有独立干理论的生命，从而给出了实在论之争的新方向。作者论证，如果我们能够利用理论概念通过实验成功地干预世界，那么这些理论概念就是实在的。他的实体实在论或实验实在论已成为科学实在论的要要流派之一。 《表征与干预:自然科学哲学主题导论》视角独辟蹊径，风格清晰生动，内容深入浅出，堪称科学哲学界的又地范式转移之作。《表征与干预:自然科学哲学主题导论》适合理工科师生以及科技哲学、科技史和科学社会学等领域的研究者参阅。
