constructive empiricism
constructive empiricism n. Philosophy (in philosophy of science) the theory that, although capable of being strictly true or false, scientific theories aim only to describe observable phenomena adequately, and that acceptance of a scientific theory involves believing that it is adequate in this way, not that it is true.The theory was originally proposed and developed by the Canadian philosopher, Bas van Fraassen (b. 1941).
