Structuralism (philosophy of science)

Structuralism is a way of looking at science and philosophy in which ideas and objects are seen as being made up of parts that fit together in certain patterns. It is like putting together a puzzle, where each piece helps to create a bigger picture. Structuralism seeks to understand how these pieces fit together and how they interact with each other to create meaning. Using this approach, scientists and philosophers can try to gain knowledge about how things work and how we can use this knowledge to help ourselves.
