Models and fiction
TL;DR: The authors argue that models share important aspects in common with literary fiction, and that therefore theories of fiction can be brought to bear on these questions, in particular the pretence theory as developed by Walton (1990, Mimesis as make-believe).

Roman Frigg,Julian Reiss +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that claims that computer simulations call into question philosophical understanding of scientific ontology, the epistemology and semantics of models and theories, and the relation between experimentation and theorising are overblown and that simulations, far from demanding a new metaphysics, theology, semantics and methodology, raise few if any new philosophical problems.
