Abstrakt: The article discusses the argumentation addressing the relationship of empiricism or anti-realism and logical empiricism. It mentions that constructive empiricism, developed by philosopher Bas van Fraassen, has been the most influential anti-realist position in philosophy of science where van Fraasen agrees that all we know in science is structure. Moreover, van Fraasen suggests that the structure realist's identification of 'structure' must be post hoc and revisionist.
