Grounding scientific representation.
In this article, I will offer a ground-theoretic proposal to explore the so-called ‘constitution question of scientific representation’: in virtue of what does a scientific model represent a part of the world? In particular, I will provide a schematic, unifying account, according to which scientific...

Box 19839-4716, Daneshjou Boulevard, Tehran, Iran sug: keyword: Agent-based approach Grounding Hybrid approach Scientific representation Similarity-based approach ab: In this article, I will offer a ground-theoretic proposal to explore the so-called ‘constitution question of scientific representation’: in virtue of what does a scientific model represent a part of the world? In particular, I will provide a schematic, unifying account, according to which scientific representation is grounded in both structural similarities and agent’s intentional actions. This new framework not only characterizes the nature of the dependence of scientific representation on these two sorts of factors, but also determines the geometry of the dependence. Furthermore, it underlies certain intuitions which the hybrid approach to scientific representation, while acknowledging such a form of dependence but leaving its nature untouched, relies on. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Synthese is a copyright of Springer, 2023.
