Resumen de The Scope of the Construction of Experience in Empiricist Structuralism
In his attempt to put forward an empiricist version of structuralism, van Fraassen develops an approach to scientific representation and models which has been the object of several critiques.

We examine and dismiss the solution offered by van Fraassen. Finally, we offer an alternative solution path.
