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...
Scientific Representation: Against Similarity and Isomorphism
representation idealization models realism structuralism
2008/4/22
I argue against theories that attempt to reduce scientific representation to similarity or isomorphism. These reductive theories aim to radically naturalise the notion of representation, since they tr...
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...
The representation of facts in physical theories
Breaking of the time-reversal symmetry Nonanticipative behavior

The purpose of this contribution is to call attention to a problem which has not received the interest which, in my opinion, it deserves: the problem of representation of facts in physical theories. T...

This paper is concerned with the representation of time and change in
classical (i.e., non-quantum) physical theories. One of the main goals is to attempt to clarify the nature and scope of the so-ca...
There Is No Special Problem About Scientific Representation

2008/4/21
In recent years, philosophers of science have devoted considerable attention to questions about scientific models, and particularly to the issue of how models can represent the world. We propose that ...
Representation has been one of the main themes in the recent discussion of models. Several authors have argued for a pragmatic approach to representation that takes users and their interpretations int...
Models are generally used by scientists to obtain predictions and to provide explanations about phenomena. Their predictive and explanatory power is generally thought of as depending on their represen...
Disentangling Scientific Representation
scientific models representation surrogative reasoning
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...
According to the received view of computation, there is no computation without representation. In other words, computational states are individuated, at least in part, by their content. I propose an a...

This paper presents part of a scientific study focused on the social aspects of research and its impact on the process of constructing knowledge. For this, we use a corpus of hitherto unexploited text...

This paper defends a deflationary conception of scientific representation. It minimally characterises representation by means of two necessary conditions: its essential intentionality and its capacity...
