Resumo: Exemplification is the relation of an example to whatever it is an example of. Goodman maintains that exemplification is a symptom of the aesthetic: although not a necessary condition, it is an indicator that symbol is functioning aesthetically. I argue that exemplification is as important in science as it is in art. It is the vehicle by which experiments make aspects of nature manifest. I suggest that the difference between exemplars in the arts and the sciences lies in the way they exemplify. Density and repleteness (among the other symptoms of the aesthetic) are characteristic of aesthetic exemplars but not of scientific ones.

A exemplificação é a relação de um exemplo com aquilo de que ele é um exemplo. Goodman sustenta que a exemplificação é um sintoma do estético: embora não seja uma condição necessária, trata-se de um indicador de que símbolo está funcionando esteticamente. Sustentamos que a exemplificação é tão importante na ciência quanto na arte. Ela é o veículo pelo qual os experimentos tornam manifestos aspectos da natureza. Sugerimos que a diferença entre os exemplares nas artes e nas ciência esteja no modo em que exemplificam. A densidade e a completude (entre os outros sinais do que é estético) são características dos exemplares estéticos, mas não dos científicos. Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2011-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/1808-1711.2011v15n3p39910.5007/1808-1711.2011v15n3p399Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 15 No. 3 (2011); 399-413Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 15 Núm. 3 (2011); 399-413Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 15 n. 3 (2011); 399-4131808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
