La última frontera en los estudios metacientíficos

The scientific antirrealism best without objections on the existence of directly observable entities and about unobservable entities they us inform that they are fictions, logical constructions, or parts of a set of instruments to reason on the world. With regard to the theories, these are considered to be theoretical constructions, instruments to think, and that can be adaptes, applicable or to guarantee and application. In "The scientific image" (1996), the go Fraassen puts to the overdraft the rivalry between the ontological conceptions of two philosophical schools, the realism and the scientific empiricism or constructive empiricism. In the work, the neuralgic points of his exhibition will centre on his visión of theories as scientific constructions, the theoretical used languages and such widely debated concepts, the empirical adecuacy and the need to sabe the phenomena. From the constructive empiricism a theory must be undesrtood as a tentative description of the reality ora n to succeed in the thuth, which in some cases they manage to reflect the real structure of the universo, therefore, that does not exist reason couple to suppose that what us the scientific theories decribe in real, not at least that the aim of the science is to produce real theories, but rather the acceptance of a theory depends on that this one in empirically snitable. The notion of theory links itself with that of model. The scientific represents the empirical phenomena in terms of abstract or mathematical structures (theoretical models), wich models of information contain or equalized that are constructed on the base of results following a certain way, selecting relevant criteria, in particular occasions in a experimental practice o combine observational designeted for this intention. The sicence explains how the apperances are produced in the reality. In the 2008, Fraassen publishes the text "Scientific representation: paradoxes and perspectives", where exactly the pragmatic sense: this is to the effect that some things are used, made or had to represent in the marc of a context (perspectivism). In this work let's sense berefore hand the empirical concetion of Fraassen's theories. We analyze the offer to conceive the models in science as points or parths in a space of condictions. The relation established between model and reality, together with the concept of obsevability and of empirical adecuacy. In the last instance we introduce as border of analysis epistemic the notion of perspectivism
