Resumo:
In this article I propose an analysis of two opposing viewpoints on the notion of computer simulation.

The second notion belongs to Paul Humphreys, who suggests that computer simulations are objects of genuine philosophical interest, and that understanding their nature allows us to understand their role in current scientific practice.
