 The analytical framework of the Pragmatic View remains under construction. The emphasis is on internal diversity, and on the external pluralism of models and theories, of modeling and theorizing, and of philosophical analyses of scientific theories. The Pragmatic View acknowledges that scientists use and need different kinds of theories for a variety of purposes. There is no one-size-fits-all structure of scientific theories. Notably, although the Pragmatic View does not necessarily endorse the views of the tradition of American Pragmatism, it has important resonances with the latter school’s emphasis on truth and knowledge as processual, purposive, pluralist, and context-dependent, and on the social and cognitive structure of scientific inquiry.
