- W2359531036 abstract "The major objective of this text has been to formulate, develop and defend a theory about the nature of scientific theories. Part of what such a characterisation is meant to do is account for the variety of ways a scientific theory functions. Like nature, theories are many-faceted: they are responsible for a scientist’s ability to explain and predict; they support the truth of certain counterfactual conditionals but rule out others; they are able to reduce or incorporate other theories, bringing about a greater unification within our conceptual scheme; and, finally, they confer meaning upon ‘raw’ data by providing us with a means of identifying and differentiating phenomena. The central thesis coming out of these chapters is that an account of the above aspects of theory can, for the most part, be traced to a theory’s ontological commitments its ‘ontological zoo’." @default.
