The overwhelming majority of the attempts in exploring the problems related to quantum logical structures and their interpretation have been based on an underlying set-theoretic syntactic language. We...
Mathematical Representation:Playing a Role
Mathematical Structuralism Representation Modelling Van Fraassen

The primary justification for mathematical structuralism is its capacity to explain two observations about mathematical objects, typically natural numbers. Non-eliminative structuralism attributes the...

All tools have their advantages and disadvantages and for all tools there are times when they are appropriate and times when they are not. Formal tools are no exception to this and systems of numbers ...
From Similarity to Homomorphism: Toward a Pragmatic Account of Representation in Art and Science, 1880-1914

The years 1880-1914 were a time of intense experimentation in the visual arts. Representative conventions became variable, and artists deliberately departed from a concept of depiction considered as p...

Scientific Realism Representation Models Inference Instrumentalism Pragmatism Philip Kitcher
2011/9/8
This paper critically reviews Philip Kitcher’s most recent epistemology of science, real realism. I argue that this view is unstable under different understandings of the term “representation”, and th...
Making Sense of Modeling: Beyond Representation

2009/9/17
It has recently been aptly emphasized that how models are used is essential to what scientific models are. But the explanations of why and how a model is used or why a model is scientifically valuable...

Formats of Representation in Scientific Theorising

2009/4/23
This paper is intended to sketch the definition of a methodological tool -- the notion of a format of representation -- for the study of scientific theorising. One of its main assumption is that a phi...
What does it mean, to embed the phenomena in an abstract structure? Or to represent them by doing so? The semantic view of theories runs into a severe problem if these notions are construed either nai...
Scientific Representation and the Semantic View of Theories
Semantic view of theories scientific representation
2008/4/22
It is now part and parcel of the official philosophical wisdom that models are essential to the acquisition and organisation of scientific knowledge. It is also generally accepted that most models rep...
In this paper, I consider how different versions of the similarity account of scientific representation might apply to a simple case of scientific representation, in which a model is used to predict t...
Science as Representation: Flouting the Criteria
philosophy of science representation realism/anti-realism
2008/4/22
Science represents the phenomena and it does so by providing representations of nature with the phenomena at best as a part. Criteria of adequacy for a representation pertain to accuracy and truth; bu...
Disentangling Scientific Representation

2008/4/11
The main aim of this paper is to disentangle three senses in which we can say that a model represents a system—denotation epistemic representation, and successful epistemic representation--and to indi...

In this paper I will defend a new account of scientific representation. I will begin by looking at the benefits and drawbacks of two recent accounts on scientific representation: Hughes’ DDI account a...
