A Frame-Based Approach for Operationalized Conceptsophy of science, frames were adopted as a tool for analyzing scientific concept formation, conceptual change, and incommensurable conceptual taxonomies. Most of the frame analyses developed so far are concerned with prototype concepts or family resemblance concepts. In this paper, I will argue that

Regarding entity realism, arguments for and against naturally dissolve into disputes about the reference of theoretical terms which are insulated from the details of cases. I conclude by suggesting that the morals o

In describing how lower-level components are unified in this commonsense way, models like the operon thereby unify higher- and lower-level descriptions of the phenomenon to be explained (perspectival unification). The last sections discuss how unifying multi-level explanations can yield understan
