Ludwig Boltzmann’s Bildtheorie has been portrayed as a pre-cursor of the semantic view of theories and as such, the word “Bild” is translated as model. But this anachronistic understanding of Boltzmann’s use of Bilder fails to account for the wide range of roles they play in his understanding of scientific methodology. When the concept of Bild is understood historically in Viennese thought, a much broader sense emerges that leads to the investigation of its use in multiple ways in various contexts in the process of proposing, pursuing, and justifying scientific beliefs.

建筑科学：玻尔兹曼中的建筑类型的多样性

路德维希·玻尔兹曼的Bildtheorie被描述为理论语义观的先驱，因此“ Bild ”一词被翻译为模型。但这种对玻尔兹曼对图片的使用的不合时宜的理解未能解释它们在他对科学方法的理解中所发挥的广泛作用。当“图片”这个概念在维也纳思想中被历史性地理解时，就会出现一种更广泛的含义，从而导致在提出、追求和证明科学信念的过程中，在不同的背景下以多种方式研究它的使用。
