Representation is important because it allows scientists to study a model to discover features of reality. The authors provide a map of the conceptual landscape surrounding the issue of scientific representation, arguing that it consists of multiple intertwined problems. They provide an encyclopaedic overview of existing attempts to answer these questions, and they assess their strengths and weaknesses. The book also presents a comprehensive statement of their alternative proposal, the DEKI account of representation, which they have developed over the last few years. They show how the account works in the case of material as well as non-material models; how it accommodates the use of mathematics in scientific modelling; and how it sheds light on the relation between representation in science and art. The issue of representation has generated a sizeable literature,which has been growing fast in particular over the last decade. This makes it hard for novices to get a handle on the topic because so far there is no book-length introduction that would guide them thr | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Scientific Representation; Scientific Models; Denotation; Exemplification; Griceanism; Structuralist conc | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-45153-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-45155-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-45153-0Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | | issn_series | 0166-6991 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
