Bilimsel kavramlar,
bilimsel açıklamaların yapılandırılmasında temel bir görev üstlenmektedirler.
Bilimsel açıklamalarda kavramları merkez alan en önemli sözcük bağlamlarından
biri tanım tümceleridir. Bu tanımlar, bilimde kavramların başlıca kullanış
özelliklerine göre sınıflandırılabilmektedir. Bu sınıflandırmada yorumlayıcı
tanım tümcelerinin bir başka yorumu ‘işlemselci tanımları’ Hempel, belli başlı
nedenlerden ötürü reddetmektedir. Bu çalışmada Hempel’e göre bilimsel
tanımların sınıflandırılmasının özellikleri ve işlemselci tanımlara özellikle
empirik içerik bakımından Hempel’in yaptığı eleştiriler değerlendirilmiştir.
Scientific concepts play a fundamental role in structuring scientific
explanations. One of the most important word contexts centered on concepts in
scientific explanations are definition sentences. These definitions can be
classified according to the main usage properties of concepts in science. In this
classification, Hempel rejects ‘operational definitions’ which is another
interpretation of the operational definition phrases for certain reasons. This
study evaluates, the features of classification of scientific definitions according
to Hempel and Hempel's critiques of operational definitions, especially in terms
of empirical content. As a result of this assessment, we drew attention the
problems that arose in structuring scientific explanations through operational
definitions. Coming up with solutions to these problems addresses to the
necessity of a new theory of understanding in terms of the use of concepts in
theory by definition.
