Abstract

Abstract Drawing from a Sellarsian realist-naturalist epistemology, we trace different levels of cognitive hierarchy procedures through which a representational system learns to update its own states and improve its ‘map-making’ capabilities from pre-conscious operations which modulate base-localization functions, to patterns of epistemic revision and integration at the conceptual and theoretical levels, producing a nomological double of its world. We show how ontological theorization becomes diachronically coordinated with and constrained by empirical science, and how the formal-quantitative kernel of scientific theories corresponds to qualitative-conceptual determinations at the structural level. Following Johanna Seibt’s characterization of ontology as a theory of categorial inference, we trace the preservation of inferential semantic structure across ontological theories in relation to model languages and provide provisional indications to coordinate Seibt’s account with a convergent realist assessment of systematic modeling, defining the epistemological conditions for articulating the preservation of formal structure in theories toward a limit-point of enquiry.

赛伯特范畴推理的过程本体论——论Nomological公理化与范畴投影
摘要从Sellarsian现实主义自然主义认识论出发,我们追溯了不同层次的认知层次程序,通过这些程序,表征系统学会更新自己的状态,并从调节基础定位功能的前意识操作中提高其“地图制作”能力,在概念和理论层面的认识修正和整合模式,产生了其世界的法理双重。我们展示了本体论理论如何与经验科学进行历时性协调和约束,以及科学理论的形式定量内核如何与结构层面的定性概念决定相对应。继Johanna Seibt将本体论描述为范畴推理理论之后,我们追踪了与模型语言相关的本体论中推理语义结构的保留,并提供了临时指示,以协调Seibt的叙述与系统建模的趋同现实主义评估,定义了阐明在理论中保持形式结构以达到探究的极限的认识论条件。
