Description

About the Book

This book develops an analysis of the issue of scientific representation (concepts, laws, theories, models, thought experiments) following a revisionist Kantian approach.

Book Synopsis

Scientific concepts, laws, theories and models are representations but are uniquely different. This book explores each within an original, philosophical framework rooted in the Kantian tradition. Through a revisionist historical approach, it shows how this tradition helps us rethink contemporary issues in epistemology and the philosophy of science.
