How The Law Of Physics Lie
In these series of philosophical essays, Cartwright says that she is not an "anti-realest" and argues that the most admired successes in modern physics do not describe the regularities in nature. Cartwright also argued that theoretical entities and their laws can be interpreted realistically. Cartwright, Nancy. How the Laws of Physics Lie. Oxford University Press, 1983. -
The Dappled World" A Study of the Boundaries of space
In this book, Cartwright states that it is not realism but fundamentalism we need to combat. Cartwright argues that the vision of mathematical sciences of the world is not ordered by one single elegant theory. Cartwright, Professor of Philosophy Nancy, and Cartwright, Nancy.

Hunting Causes and Using Them: Approaches in Philosophy and Economics
