A. Chalmers’ın Radikal Enstrümentalizm veya Plüralistik Realizminin Uluslararası İlişkiler İçin Yorumu
A. Chalmers’ Interpretation Of Radical Instrumentalism Or Pluralistic Realism For International Relations

Summary/Abstract: A. Chalmers emphasizes that scientific theories and the external world are real, but they can’t be equated with each other. Scientific theories are produced and modified incessantly as a result of scientific practice. The willingness to call this interpretation of realism as a pluralistic is related to this. Both the external world and world of theories are real, but they are different from each other. They are brought together by third reality, scientific practice. The position he advocates is the instrumentalist in that it rejects a direct link between theories and the real world and it refuses to be seen as attempts to explain how theories really are. The neorealism will be criticized via the mentioned approach, and neorealist would fit into this group that Chalmers defines as naïve instrumentalist. All concepts that trying to explain the international relations after 1980 will be discussed in line with his radical instrumentalism or pluralistic realism.
