A theory is to be identified  through its class of models, but not so narrowly as to disallow these  roles. The language of science is to be studied separately, with  special reference to the relations listed above, and to the consequent  need for resources other than for theoretical description. Peculiar to  the foundational level are questions of completeness (specifically in  the representation of measurement), and of interpretation (a topic  beset with confusions of truth and evidence, and with inappropriate  metalinguistic abstraction).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048147922\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8816-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 163\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358585909388,"sku":"9789048147922","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048147922.jpg?v=1775766156","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048147922","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
