Mauricio Surez's inferential conception is one of the leading philosophical accounts of representation in science.His recent monograph, Inference and Representation, demonstrates the inferential conception's coherence and applicability to a range of topics within and beyond the philosophy of science.As such, the book should serve as an essential reference for scholars of scientific representation, illuminating both Surez's decades-long contributions and the state of the field.
