In this article, we take the perspective of the philosophy of science on modelling in general to consider whether LLMs are (good) models of language. We establish that LLMs can be considered scientific models, and that as such they are good scientific models of certain aspects of human language, in so far as they can capture the modal structure of natural language. We argue that they can do this even if they do not reveal (all) its causal structure, nomological structure or mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":48832,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Philosophy of Science","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to provide an analysis that is weak enough to be applied to the plethora of different models in empirical science, but strong enough to offer monistic and substantive answers to the problems of directionality, performance and adequacy of scientific representations. The account combines some inherentist and functional aspects adding some essential pragmatic components. In Sect. 1 I start with some introductory and terminological remarks, and the problems and desiderata the account aims to meet. In Sect. 2, I summarize the main features of inherentist and functional accounts, their virtues worth to preserve and their shortcomings to avoid. In Sect. 3 I present the account and how it answers the three problems. In Sect. 4, I assess the account vis a vis its rivals. In the final section I make some concluding remarks.","PeriodicalId":48832,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Philosophy of Science","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148728802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, realists have offered various responses, including confining their commitment to certain types of theoretical components, dismissing historical cases as irrelevant to contemporary science, and adopting local approaches, each of which brings its own challenges. In a thought-provoking paper, Sherrilyn Roush draws insight from the discussion of the preface paradox in epistemology and points out the possibility of a new realist stance regarding historical challenges that does not align with these conventional approaches. Despite its uniqueness, the suggested stance does not receive as much attention as it deserves, and its implications have not been fully explored. In this paper, I critically examine Roush’s proposal and argue that it is less appealing than it initially appears. However, rather than simply returning to conventional approaches, I also highlight the possibility of more nuanced realist stances.","PeriodicalId":48832,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Philosophy of Science","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148717439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, the status of the geodesic principle is not straightforward. I distinguish the main senses in which geodesic motion is taken as an approximation or idealisation and propose a theory-internal standard for such claims, refining Norton’s (<xref ref-type=\"bibr\">2012</xref>) distinction. Theory-internal approximation requires preserving across the approximating process the material bearer undergoing geodesic motion; theory-internal idealisation introduces a distinct dynamically admissible material bearer. I show that standard theorems do not establish geodesicity as approximate or idealised motion within the full, non-linear Einstein-matter theory, though geodesicity is recovered as a controlled leading-order approximation in the perturbative theory.","PeriodicalId":48832,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Philosophy of Science","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148717438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is often taken as an objection to reductionism and a point in favour of organicist views, which argue for the central role of the organism in all biological explanations. This paper argues that biological organisation often either is, or depends on, spatial structure, together with interactions among parts of the system understood in physical terms. We take spatial structure to include position, configuration, shape, directionality, and orientation of objects in space. Important features of the spatial structure of living systems include physical boundaries, such as membranes; cellular structure, which includes physical objects spatially arranged in certain ways; directionality and orientation with respect to internal and environmental signals; location, both of organisms in their environments and of components within the organism; and shape, including the shapes of organisms and their components at atomic, mesoscopic, and larger scales. The importance of spatial structure for explanations of the functioning of biological systems corroborates criticisms of genetic and molecular reductionism, but is compatible with physical reduction – the explanation of biological phenomena in physical terms – and part-whole reduction – the explanation of systems in terms of their parts, spatial structure, and interactions with each other and their environment.","PeriodicalId":48832,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Philosophy of Science","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148693286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, I articulate ‘predictable uncertainty’ as an epistemic criterion of reliable climate change information: the ability of climate scientists to systematically characterize and constrain the uncertainty envelope associated with their epistemic situation. There are two related implications. First, internal variability can be an informative signal for future climate change, and controlling for it can help identify the scales at which climate model-based or climate model-supported information may be reliable. Second, the reliability of local climate change information should be evaluated based not primarily on the amount of uncertainty in the interaction between the forced response and internal variability, but rather on climate scientists’ ability to characterize and constrain that uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":48832,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Philosophy of Science","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148693270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
