    "abstract": "While philosophy of science is the study of problems of knowledge concerning\nscience in general, there also exists - or should exist - a \u0027\u0027 philosophy in\nscience\u0027\u0027 directed at finding out in what ways our actual scientific knowledge\nmay validly contribute to the basic philosophical quest. Contrary to philosophy\nof science, which is a subject for philosophers, philosophy in science calls on\nthe services of physicists. When, in its spirit, quantum theory and Bell\u0027s\ntheorem are used as touchstones, the two main traditional philosophical\napproaches, realism and idealism, are found wanting. A more suitable conception\nseems to be an intermediate one, in which the mere postulated existence of a\nholistic and hardly knowable Mind-Independent Reality is found to have an\nexplaining power. Some corrections to comments by Schins of a previous work on\nthe same subject are incorporated.",
