%0 Journal Article %J Organon F %D 2017 %T Ideal-Model Descriptions and Truth %A Bielik, Lukáš %K ideal-model descriptions %K Idealization assumptions %K material implication %K models %K truth %X In scientific practice, we find ideal models that rely on a sort of idealization. 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 – even though involving some idealization assumptions – 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. %B Organon F %V 24 %P 123-131 %G English %U http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/prilohy/2017/1/123-131.pdf %9 State %2 Articles %3 123131 %# 1
