(2000) Theories, models and structures: thirty within the partial structures formulation of the semantic or model-theoretic approach. However, not all theories are like quantum mechanics; does this account put the Received View radically out of step with scientific practice? the structures which satisfy this predicate are the models of the theory. The argument goes as follows: According to the Semantic Approach theories are families of mathematical models; if this approach is premise does not represent the correct understanding of the semantic approach's view of models. O n such a view, both models and theories are representational.
