在回应结构实在论对建构经验主义的挑战中，范弗拉森提出了结构经验主义的思想。按照范弗拉森，任一对象的内部元素都可以被赋予无数种合理的组合结构，结构实在论者要把那些本质的结构纳入研究视野，但却没有给出这种本质与非本质区分的合理根据。结构经验主义强调，具体语境决定了经验上恰当的组合结构。尽管结构经验主义理论还有许多困难，但还是丰富和完善了范弗拉森早期的建构经验主义。

Bas C. van Fraassen presented a structural empiricism recently to respond to the challenges of structural realism. According to van Fraassen, a domain has no inherent structure unless some properties and relations are im- posed on it, so every domain can have any assigned structure compatible with it. But the structural realist thinks that some of the structures are natural ones that have epistemological advantages. Van Fraassen criticized this view and proposed an structural empiricism claiming that we can determine the only appropriate structure if we make clear what the specific context we are in. There are some problems with this structural empiricism but it indeed enriches and completes the constructive empiricism van Fraassen had proposed.
