ABSTRACT
Now that we have discussed axiomatization in general and the main features of the axiomatic method, it is time to put that method to work in the case of scientific theories. As discussed in a previous chapter, the fact that we are using formal tools and axiomatization does not collapse our approach directly in the traditional Received View. Rather, as we shall discuss later, we follow mainly the approach by Suppes and employ formal tools in the analysis of scientific theories wherever possible.
