DAHLQUIS, Manuel  y  GONZALO, Adriana. Una propuesta modal sobre la T -teoricidad y el papel de los postulados y axiomas en las teorías científicas. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2015, vol.47, n.141, pp.33-59.  Epub 02-Abr-2020. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2015.388.

The so-called "problem of theoretical terms" frst formulated by Sneed (1971) arises from the interpretation of theoretical terms according to the Inherited Conception. This reading is not consistent with the indirect interpretation of the oretical terms made by Carnap (1937, 1939) using postulates. These texts propose a holistic interpretation of scientifc theories, that can only be properly treated in possible world semantics. Andreas (2008, 2010) provides a modal treatment of the oretical terms; we present these results in terms of Kripkean models; then extend them so as to distinguish between axioms and theoretical sentences, generating a model capable of treating them in a differentiated matter and offering new logical and philosophical results.

Palabras llave : Carnap; received view; interpretation indirect; modal logic; theoretical terms.
