These ideal-model descriptions are usually construed as distorted representations of some real system. As such, the ideal-model descriptions count as appeals to (scientific) fictions. Here, I present a category of ideal-model descriptions which {\textendash} even though involving some idealization assumptions {\textendash} are nevertheless true. These cases come out as puzzling though. On the one hand, they presuppose some misrepresentations of an intended target system; on the other hand, they are true of that target system.}, keywords = {ideal-model descriptions, Idealization assumptions, material implication, models, truth}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/prilohy/2017/1/123-131.pdf}, author = {Bielik, Luk{\'a}{\v s}} }
