摘要:Some reflexions about the ontosemantic problems in the Structuralist View of Science (SV) are introduced. They are presented from a historical perspective, beginning with Sneed (1971) and Stegmüller (1973, 1976), up to more recent works of Moulines (1982, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1998, 2002). The particular ontosemantic problems here considered are: the distinction between the T -theoretical terms (relative to a theory T ) and the T -non-theoretical terms; and the criteria of meaning for scientific terms. The solutions given in the frame of the SV are analyzed and discussed form a critical perspective in order to evaluate its successes and limitations.
