The glue between the two appears to bethe instrumentalist methodology, rather than that of thefalsificationalist. .The instrumentalist methodology, used in the separate, comparativeevaluation of theories in terms of their successes and problems(hence, even if already falsified), provides in theory and practicethe straight road to short-term empirical progress in science (..à la. Laudan). It is also argued that such progress isalso functional for all kinds of truth approximation: observational,referential, and theoretical. This sheds new light on the long-termdynamics of science and hence on the relation between the mainepistemological positions, viz., instrumentalism (Toulmin, Laudan),constructive empiricism (Van Fraassen), referential realism (Hacking,Cartwright), and theory realism of a non-essentialist nature(constructive realism. à la. Popper). ..Readership:. Open minded philosophers and scientists.
