Although there is an abundance of highly specialized monographs,
learned collections and general introductions to the philosophy of
science, only a few 25 years. synthetic monographs and advanced
textbooks have appeared in the last The philosophy of science seems
to have lost its self-confidence. The main reason for such a loss
is that the traditional analytical, logical-empiricist approaches
to the philosophy of science had to make a number of concessions,
especially in response to the work of Popper, Kuhn and Lakatos.
With Structures in Science I intend to present both a synthetic
mono graph and an advanced textbook that accommodates and
integrates the insight of these philosophers, in what I like to
call a neo-classical approach. The resulting monograph elaborates
several important topics from one or more perspectives, by
distinguishing various kinds of research programs, and various ways
of explaining and reducing laws and concepts, and by summarizing an
integrated explication (presented in From Instrumentalism to
Constructive Realism, ICR) of the notions of confirmation,
empirical progress and truth approximation.
