Semantic vs Syntactic View
I focused some of the essays on the debate on semantic and syntactic views on theories, which have been briefly exposed in Structure on Models and Correspondence.
More considerations on structuralism in relation with the notion of interpretation are available under Horsten, L. (2010), Having an Interpretation, the analysis and discussion of the paper by L. Horsten.
