TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce 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 adequate answers to these questions.
Abstract: 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 tar- get systems in one way or another. But what does it mean for a model to represent its target system? I be- gin 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 hav- ing 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.
