Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / Purpose: The intent of this thesis is to investigate the meaning and significance of revelation in the theology of Cornelius Van Til. His theological beliefs will be outlined briefly as background material for a more complete grasp of his treatment of revelation. This thesis will treat revelation under two headings, that of "natural" revelation and "special" revelation. Natural revelation asks the question as to what man may know of God from nature while special revelation asks how God is further revealed beyond what nature suggests. After each chapter a brief evaluation will point up various areas which the author feels merit attention in Van Til's discussion of revelation [TRUNCATED]

O Empirismo Construtivo defende que o objetivo da ciência é elaborar teorias que sejam empiricamente adequadas e, nesse sentido, afasta-se de outras correntes anti-realistas e, particularmente, do Realismo Científico. A diferença entre esta concepção e outras correntes anti-realistas situa-se no uso que faz da concepção semântica de teorias científicas. Quanto ao Realismo Científico, a diferença diz respeito ao objetivo da ciência e ? crença envolvida na aceitação de teorias. No que concerne ao problema da explicação científica, van Fraassen oferece uma teoria pragmática da explicação cujo objetivo é apresentar a explicação sem o apelo a qualquer ontologia, no qual o contexto cumpre papel determinante na explicação e procura com isso, conter os argumentos realistas baseados no poder explicativo das teorias. _____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This work aims to present the principle aspects of Bas C. van Fraassen’s Constructive Empiricism, particularly with regard to the problem of scientific explanation. Constructive Empiricism defends the objective of science as being that of formulating theories that are empirically adequate and, in this way, abstains from other anti-realist lines of thought and, particularly from Scientific Realism. The difference between this notion and other anti-realist views is based on its use of semantic conceptions of scientific theories. In terms of Scientific Realism, the difference deals with the objective of science and with the belief involved in the acceptance of theories. Regarding the problem of scientific explanation, van Fraassen offers a pragmatic theory of the explanation whose objective is to present the explanation bereft of any ontology, in which the context plays a determinant role in the explanation and, by this, seeks to contain the realist arguments based on the explanatory power of theories.
