Abstract

Duhem’s viewpoint about physics is a systematic and mathematical one that surely somehow has effected to his philosophical explanation of scientific theories. For Duhem, the aim of science is classifying the phenomena in a good mathematical frame in which it could identify the real relationships among the theoretical identities without manifesting them. Theories are not only full boxes of phenomena classified tools that are proper for today and improper for tomorrow. The most important characteristic of a scientific theory is to predict phenomena and experimental laws that is not discovered, but what is effective in this novels predict is the relationship between identities. In the view of ontology, scientific theories make no commitment for theoretical identities. In spite that Duhem is a scientific historian, and by searching in his works and ideas we can’t clearly say Duhem is the realist or the instrumenalist about scientific theories. Even some believe that he is tried to find a way between REALISM and instumentalism. In this paper, at first Duhem ideas about THE AIM AND STRUCTURE OF PHYSICAL THEORY will be surveyed. Then by some pro and opponent ideas with Duhem's REALISM we will demonstrate his idea about scientific theories has more tendencies to structure REALISM.
