On the dispute of Realism and Anti Realism, Bas C.van Fraassen,as a gentle represent of Anti realism, put forward the empiricism of constructive. This empiricism is a very important part in the dialectical development of western philosophy because it critically absorbed some thoughts of the Constructivism, Empiricism, Instrumentalism, Semantic anti realism and so on.Most of the thoughts of Bas C.van Fraassen’s Constructivism were based on the pragmatics. The pragmatic view is the basic part of Bas C.van Fraassen’s philosophy of science. Because of this, the pragmatic view is the most important part in his thoughts.He denied of that explain is the purpose of science. Meanwhile he is the first man who brought the context as an factor to the process of scientific explanation. He thought that the explanation is not contains "theory——phenomenon" only, but it’s an three parts relationship of "theory——context——phenomenon". In addition, he put forward a new model of explanation——"Why—question".He believed that the scientific explanation is a very practical thing, for this way, he developed the explanation as a dynamic role in a large extent. But his thoughts also has some disadvantages.The introduction part of this article mainly introduced some current research topic significance and international comparison and the main text part discusses the main view of the pragmatic view of scientific explanation in detail.
