Critique of the Notion of Model
Keywords:
Marxism, Complexity Theory, Set Theory, Epistemology, Postmodernism.Abstract
This paper analyzes the notion of model and its relation to some theories in vogue: complexity theory and set theory. Through this analysis, they are established some onto-epistemological problems linked to the concept of model like: its ambiguous relationship to formal logics, its nihilist character, its incapacity to apprehend the object of study, its artificiality, etc.; in spite of its application in different scientific disciplines like: psychology, neuroscience, physics, linguistics and so on. Finally, it is signaled the invalidity of the notion of model as a methodological tool.References
