Our aim will be that of revealing the existence of a fictional component of such a discourse and of explaining the evolution of scientific concepts from the point of view of their ontological authority. Nonetheless, we will try to justify the use of the term “imaginary” instead of “imagination” as regards the dynamics of scientific representations in modern natural sciences. |
