An Inferential And Dynamic Approach To Modeling And Understanding In Biology [Un Enfoque Inferencial Y Dinámico De La Modelización Y La Comprensión En Biología]

This paper aims to propose an inferential and dynamic approach to understanding with models in biology. Understanding plays a central role in the practice of modeling. From its links with the other two central elements of scientific research, experimentation, and explanation, we show its epistemic relevance to the case of explanation in biology. Furthermore, by including the notion of understanding, we propose a non-referentialist perspective on scientific models, which is determined by their use.
