| contents | Scientific Representation and the Semantic View of Theories Roman FRIGG Filosofía models similarity isomorphism Scientific representation semantic view of theories It is now part and parcel of the official philosophical wisdom that models are essential to the acquisition and organisation of scientific knowledge. It is also generally accepted that most models represent their target systems in one way or another. But what does it mean for a model to represent its target system? I begin by introducing three conundrums that a theory of scientific representation has to come to terms with and then address the question of whether the semantic view of theories, which is the currently most widely accepted account of theories and models, provides us with adequate answers to these questions. After having argued in some detail that it does not, I conclude by pointing out in what direction a tenable account of scientific representation might be sought. 2006 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339730799005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
