La cinquième Grande Conférence des Archives Henri Poincaré (Université de Lorraine et Université de Strasbourg) aura lieu le mercredi 14 février prochain :
"The Fictional Character of Scientific Models"
Résumé de la conférence
Many philosophers have drawn parallels between scientific models and fictions. In this paper I will be concerned with a recent version of the analogy, which compares models to the imagined characters of fictional literature. Though versions of the position differ, the shared idea is that modeling essentially involves imagining concrete systems analogously to the way that we imagine characters and events in response to works of fiction. Advocates of this view argue that imagining concrete systems plays an ineliminable role in the practice of modeling that cannot be captured by other accounts. The approach thus leaves open what we should say about the ontological status of model-systems, and here advocates differ among themselves, defending a variety of realist or anti-realist positions. I argue that this debate over the ontological status of model-systems is misguided. If model-systems are the kinds of objects fictional realists posit, they can play no role in explaining the epistemology of modeling on this approach. So they are at best superfluous. Defenders of the approach should focus on developing an account of the epistemological role of imagining model-systems.
Les Grandes conférences sont organisées par les Archives Henri Poincaré (Universités de Nancy et de Strasbourg), le CNRS, le Département de Philosophie de l'Université de Lorraine à Nancy et la Maison des sciences de l'homme Lorraine.
