Abstract

Among the approaches about the nature of scientific theory, we could refer to positivism and model-theory approaches. These approaches are fraught with difficulties so they couldn’ t resolve the problem of scientific theories. The model-theory approach which is the Van Fraassen’ s concern, is not acceptable, and. In contrast to these views, Churchland--as a scientific realist--suggests a sense of realism to resolve the scientific theories’ problem. He uses the achievements of cognitive science and proposes a connectionist model as an alternative to propositional and model-theory approaches, but his suggestion is faced with serious problem: Only by the connectionist models of scientific theory we couldn’ t give any representation between these models and the world whereas Churchland takes it for granted, and doesn’ t give any reasoning. Here we are going to explain the Churchland’ s approach and its backgrounds then we will try to treat its difficulties and introduce cognitive approach as an extension of realism.
