In this context, unlike the approachments of the traditional  philosophies of sciences, the structural analysis of theories asserts that it is not monothonics and one dimensional thing but it is with the theories as well as verifiable and falsifiable testings and it is a sophisticated unity. According to this view, a scientific theory is not a homogeneous character but it is something involving very much different elements.  And therefore, in this paper, theories not only are the products of the mind with the rules and methods but also they are seen as works of art  with aesthetics values. Accordingly, when one takes into consideration the history of science, it can be seen that like the artist, men of science work with the aeesthetics concern.  </em> </p> <p> <strong> <em>Key Words: </em> </strong> <em> Art, Enstrümentalism, Paradigm, Science, Scientific Theory </em> </p>}, number={ÖS (SI) 1}, publisher={Mugla Sitki Kocman University}
