SUMMARY:Inferential Blueprints and Windows on Reality - Michela Massimi (University of Edinburgh)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn this talk\, I present a key aspect of my 2022 book Perspectival realism (OUP)\, namely the view of scientific models as inferential blueprints. Against a long-standing tradition that has focussed on the representational role of scientific models\, I explain the rationale for regarding models as primarily inferential blueprints that allow different epistemic communities to exchange relevant and appropriate inferences on the relevant target system. I illustrate the view with both historical and contemporary examples of scientific modelling and I spell out the nature of the modal knowledge licensed by scientific models. \nThis event is part of our summer term 2026 Lecture Series Digital Complexity: Beyond Human Understanding. \nIf you would like to attend\, please register with events@khk.rwth-aachen.de.
