Abstract

Scientific realism is a comprehensive discussion in philosophy of science. Realists believe an acceptable philosophical and historical justification for science can only be made by believing in realistic aspects of science. Pointing out the deficiencies of realistic understanding of science, anti-realists, on the contrary, attempt to show that new and more apprehensive perception could be inferred either. Van Frassen can be considered as the pioneer of construction and Van Frassen can be considered as the pioneer of constructive empiricism approach, which has been elaborated in his book "Scientific Image". The book has debated the weak points of realistic reasoning and the fact that realistic perception has no advantage the weak points of realistic reasoning and the fact how realistic perception has no advantage over Constructive Empiricism. Frassen claims the any scientif phenomena which can be explained by Realism can also be explaind by constructive Empiricism.
One of this new perceptions belongs to Empiricists who believe in Construction.
