Bu siniflandirmada yorumlayicitanim tümcelerinin bir baska yorumu ‘islemselci tanimlari’ Hempel, belli baslinedenlerden ötürü reddetmektedir.

One of the most important word contexts centered on concepts inscientific explanations are definition sentences. These definitions can beclassified according to the main usage properties of concepts in science. In thisclassification, Hempel rejects ‘operational definitions’ which is anotherinterpretation of the operational definition phrases for certain reasons. Thisstudy evaluates, the features of classification of scientific definitions accordingto Hempel and Hempel's critiques of operational definitions, especially in termsof empirical content. As a result of this assessment, we drew attention theproblems that arose in structuring scientific explanations through operationaldefinitions. Coming up with solutions to these problems addresses to thenecessity of a new theory of understanding in terms of the use of concepts intheory by definition. trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBilimsel tanimlarIslemsel tanimlarIslemselcilikEmpirik içerikArticle28421438
