作为表达的模型

通常认为,模型在科学知识的组织和获得过程中起中心作用,大多数模型以某种方式表达了它们的目标系统。本文试图探讨的问题是关于模型如何表达它的目标系统。首先本文将引入模型的表达理论必须面对的两个基本问题,接下来将试图评述理论的语义观的解决方案所面临的问题及其原因,最后本文将对在何种方向上寻求模型的表达理论提出意见。

Models as Representations

Models play the core role in the organization and acquirement of scientific knowledge, most of whom represent theirtarget systems in some way. This paper tries to discuss the problem of how models represent the target systems. Firstly, we introducetwo fundamental problems that a theory of representation of models must face. Then we examine the problems of the solution of thesemantic view of theory and analyze their sources. At last this paper will suggest our opinions about the direction in which we cansear...
