In this paper one considers the gnoseological status of theories in astronomy and physics, or, more precisely, whether theories are to be viewed as true or false predicaments, and if yes, in what sense. The basic characteristics and shortcomings of the descriptivistic, instrumentalistic, conventionalistic and realistic concepts of theory are examined. In the framework of the realistic concept of theory the special attention is paid to the metaphysical realism.
