Preface
This book strives to make an improvement on the scientific structuralist view in the philosophy of science and its account of scientific representation. Scientific structuralism is influenced by breakthroughs in logic and model theory in the twentieth century. It endeavours to frame scientific representations—i.e. the connection between theories and the world—in terms of formal logical relations. This book is loyal to this foundational insight of scientific structuralism. We may endeavour to regiment the structure of scientific theories (and even representations)
