It especially provides an empiricist answer to H. Putnam's `no miracles' argument, i.e., Putnam's claim that ``the positive argument for realism is that it is the only philosophy that doesn't make the success of science a miracle'' [\\textit{H. Putnam}, Mathematics, matter and method. Philosophical papers, vol. I, 2nd ed., Cambridge UP, Cambridge (1979; Zbl 0426.00022), p. 60].   The author's proposal is based on B. van Fraassen's constructive empiricist research programme, enriched with N. C. A. da Costa's and S. French's concepts of partial structures and quasi-truth. The author writes about his strategy to master the no-miracles argument: ``The first step consists in formulating a convenient notion of empirical adequacy, that allows, in particular, the introduction of degrees of empirical adequacy. Based on this, I shall then propose a model of scientific change, compatible with the main theses of constructive empiricism, and with this model at least part of the realist challenge can be met'' (pp. 64-65). He calls his approach `structural empiricism', ``being, on the one hand, disentangled from certain metaphysical assumptions typically found in realism [\\dots], and sticking, on the other hand, to the employment of particular structures (in perfect agreement to the constructive empiricist stance)'' (p. 79).","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1583737$B2A3B3A7-6D6C-4C0B-A03B-9163D21539B4","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"2fcd128e93a2aa08500ec4fffea2aa55eff2c136","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":587369,"id":"Q587369"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1583737$DF89D9D3-2A6B-4336-9A59-6D00C18FC6A1","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"48a2830216eefdc24b89ba9895c8f20366f6740d","datavalue":{"value":"03A05","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1583737$6BCEEA8E-2219-4273-B8DD-D89E48C11C01","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"13841f0b96793f178ce9a7dcac9f232220625aee","datavalue":{"value":"03B30","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1583737$E8D7D76B-8A26-49D2-A04C-7206976B6B77","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"64262c3a54d29b980a1273a56c4b28d8c164009a","datavalue":{"value":"1523288","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1583737$FFEA2237-8B38-4375-9D68-237135252DB5","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"2d6da6653b6fefeaf52b2ff6a00aed3fd260a34c","datavalue":{"value":"structural
