A Model-Theoretic Realist Interpretation of Science


Overview

In this text, Emma Ruttkamp demonstrates the power of the full-blown employment of the model-theoretic paradigm in the philosophy of science. Within this paradigm she gives an account of sciences as process and product. She expounds the ""received statement"" and the ""non-statement"" views of science, and shows how the model-theoretic approach resolves the spurious tension between these views. In this endeavour she also engages the views of a number of contemporary philosophers of science with affinity to model theory. This text can be read by specialists working in philosophy of science or formal semantics, by logicians working on the structure of theories, and by students in philosophy of science. It offers a thorough introduction to non-statement accounts of sciences as well as a discussion of the traditional statement account of science.
