Or in the words of Sean Carroll’s Poetic Naturalism:
There are many ways of talking about the world.
All good ways of talking must be consistent with one another and with the world.
Our purposes in the moment determine the best way of talking.
A “way of talking” is a map, and “the world” is the territory.
