The challenge of surrogate reasoning in the practice of modeling in science
In this paper we reflect on what it means to generate hypotheses about phenomena from a model. Swoyer defines the latter as surrogate reasoning (1991, p. 449) and we believe that it presents challenges that need to be confronted. In our article we will focus on one that we believe to be of the great...
