Abstract

A representational theory is a theory which includes representational hypotheses; and a representational hypothesis, in contrast to a merely phenomenological one, provides an interpretative explanation of the object it refers to. Such an explanation goes beyond the description of the outward relations between two sets of variables — the explanandum and the explanans — to supply a representation of the hypothesized inward mechanism which determines the working of the referent; see Bunge (1967b).
