Bas van Fraassen is a prominent Dutch philosopher of science, known for his work in the philosophy of science, particularly in the areas of scientific realism and anti-realism. He is best known for developing the viewpoint known as "constructive empiricism," which asserts that the aim of science is not to discover true theories about unobservable entities but rather to construct theories that are empirically adequate—meaning that they correctly describe observable phenomena.
