More about the book
The book presents a nuanced exploration of representation in modeling practice, tracing its historical evolution and methodology. Suâarez introduces the "modeling attitude" and critiques reductive naturalist theories, advocating for pluralism in representational means and minimalism in their constituents. He highlights diverse modeling relations that enhance accuracy and extends his insights to artistic representation and epistemological debates. His inferential conception remains neutral between realism and instrumentalism, engaging with prominent philosophical discussions in the field.
