Summary
"Models and modeling have played an important role in philosophy, going back to the nineteenth century. However, despite receiving increased attention as philosophers become more interested in mathematical and computational methods, the philosophy and science of modeling remains a relatively under-explored topic. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Scientific Modeling is an outstanding reference source and guide to this fast-growing area and is the first volume of its kind. Comprised of 40 specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is organized into five clear parts: Historical and General Perspectives Philosophical Accounts of Modeling Methodological Aspects: Model Construction, Evaluation and Calibration Related Topics Modeling in the Wild. Within these parts a diverse range of topics are discussed, including historical perspectives on modeling, representation, idealization, fictional models, data models, robustness, computer simulation, experiments, modalities, measurement, interdisciplinary approaches, models and values, 3D models, game theory, and climate and biological modeling. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Scientific Modeling is essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy of science, formal epistemology, and philosophy of social science. It is also a valuable resource for those in related fields such as computer science and information technology"--
