My own view is that these issues about modeling and representation are an opportunity for philosophers of mathematics to help out philosophers of science. So, I wanted to add some references to that material in to make the connection explicit. But I think I can make the transition more clear, and I also need to see how much overlap there is with other Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838633162146762394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718590941586269256.post-24361825601265609692009-07-20T10:59:20.399-04:002009-07-20T10:59:20.399-04:00The philosophy of math one looks nice, despite lea...The philosophy of math one looks nice, despite leaving out some views like Maddy's <i>Realism in Mathematics</i> view, and Balaguer's view (which is understandable, given that you don't want this to go on too long). I sort of got lost around p. 13 when you moved from the mathematical explanation debate to the semantic view of models by means of Cartwright. Much of this last Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09588770173317316837noreply@blogger.com
