I use and improve the structuralist framework
which was developed by Sneed, Stegmüller,
Moulines, Günter Ludwig, Heinz-Jürgen Schmidt,
and others in the last sixty years.
This theory
- formulates a general model of the structure, the
hypotheses and the developments
of scientific theories
- clarifies the many different scientific methods
- contains reconstructions of scientific
theories from all areas of science
- contains reconstructions of scientific methods
- contains reconstructions of intertheoretical relations
and links between scientific theories.
