Research
My project aims to develop a view of scientific model systems based on the artefactual theory of Amie Thomasson (1999). At the starting point we argue that the practice of modeling in science shares important aspects with the creation and handling of fictional entities introduced in novels and other forms of literature. We aspire to profit from this analogy in order to deepen our knowledge about the nature of model systems, particularly discussing the following issues: What kind of things are model systems? What makes statements about them to be true or false? What relation does the model systems have to bear to the target that the model is trying to explain? And what is the role of conscious users when representing something by model systems? Our claim is that the artefactual theory of Amie Thomasson, as it was developed by the dialogically pragmatic approach (Rahman & Fontaine 2010; Redmond, 2010), has the necessary theoretical resources to answer these questions.
