Partiality, pursuit and practice

Steven French

pp. 35-52

My intention in this paper is to draw connections between three areas of recent interest in the philosophy of science, broadly characterised: the introduction of partial structures into the model-theoretic or "semantic' approach, the underlying structure of pursuit and heuristics and the recent emphasis on scientific "practice'. The connections are, perhaps, obvious, but worth highlighting nonetheless and they have not to my knowledge yet been fully explored.
