SUMMARY:“Interpreting Toy Theories\, With an Application to Symmetries”

DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: I define &lsquo\;toy theories&rsquo\; as theories whose laws do not permit the existence of observers. In scientific practice\, such theories are often treated as if they have a clear physical interpretation\, but on standard philosophical accounts of the methodology of interpretation\, it isn't obvious how this is possible. I discern three different senses in which a toy theory could possess a meaningful interpretation\, and apply this taxonomy to resolve a disagreement between Gordon Belot and David Wallace on the interpretation of symmetries in toy theories.</p>
