DEKI Goes Forth. 330 $aThis monograph offers a critical introduction to current theories of how scientific models represent their target systems. Representation is important because it allows scientists to study a model to discover features of reality. The authors provide a map of the conceptual landscape surrounding the issue of scientific representation, arguing that it consists of multiple intertwined problems. They provide an encyclopaedic overview of existing attempts to answer these questions, and they assess their strengths and weaknesses. The book also presents a comprehensive statement of their alternative proposal, the DEKI account of representation, which they have developed over the last few years. They show how the account works in the case of material as well as non-material models; how it accommodates the use of mathematics in scientific modelling; and how it sheds light on the relation between representation in science and art. The issue of representation has generated a sizeable literature, which has been growing fast in particular over the last decade. This makes it hard for novices to get a handle on the topic because so far there is no book-length introduction that would guide them through the discussion. Likewise, researchers may require a comprehensive review that they can refer to for critical evaluations. This book meets the needs of both groups. 410 0$aSynthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,$x2542-8292 ;$v427 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aLogic, Symbolic and mathematical 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aEpistemology 606 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aMathematical Logic and Foundations 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLogic, Symbolic and mathematical. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aEpistemology. 615 24$aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aMathematical Logic and Foundations. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a511.8 700 $aFrigg$b Roman$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0967150 702 $aNguyen$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910420924403321 996 $aModelling Nature: An Opinionated Introduction to Scientific Representation$92195604 997 $aUNINA
