The philosophy of science has lost its self-confidence - witness the lack of advanced textbooks in contrast to the abundance of elementary handbooks. "Structures in Science" is an advanced textbook that explicates, updates, accommodates, and integrates the best insights of logical-empiricism and its main critics. This "neo-classical approach" aims at providing heuristic patterns for research.
