The account I develop contains a circularity\, in that representation is a mathematical relation between the models of a theory and the system as represented by some other model &mdash\; but I argue that this circularity is not vicious\, in any case refers in linguistic accounts of meaning and representation\, and is simply a consequence of the fact that we have no unmediated\, representation-independent access to the world.</p>\n<p>This talk will also be available live streamed on:</p>\n<p>Zoom at&nbsp\;<a rel="noopenerdata-cke-saved-href=">https://pitt.zoom.us/s/97604497287</a></p>\n<p>YouTube at&nbsp\;<a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg</a>.</p>
