This book focuses on how we should treat philosophy's theoretical representations. It argues in favor of an instrumentalist attitude towards pivotal cases of theoretical representation in philosophy that are commonly regarded under a realist attitude.

Ori Simchen is Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He is the author of Semantics, Metasemantics, Aboutness (2017), and Necessary Intentionality: A Study in the Metaphysics of Aboutness (2012).
