About this book
Reviews
“The main impression in reading Scientific Structuralism is that the most tenuous theme within the broad family of structuralist approaches is the status of scientific representation. … The book under review is perhaps the best place to get a genuine idea of how intensive the proliferation of approaches to the structural interpretation of science is.” (Dimitri Ginev, Erkenntnis, Vol. 80, 2015)
