Abstract
This article offers a reconstruction of the main theses of cognitive structural realism in the philosophy of science, to examine its theoretical commitments and their viability. To this end, the connectionist version of P. M. Churchland and the predictive processing version of M. D. Beni are critically analyzed. Subsequently, the central theses of the position are identified and a distinction between strong and weak varieties of cognitive structural realism is proposed. Finally, some of its problems and potential developments are addressed.
