Modelling Nature: An Opinionated Introduction to Scientific Representation

Viac o knihe

Focusing on scientific representation, this monograph critically examines current theories and their implications for understanding reality through models. It navigates a complex landscape of intertwined problems, providing a thorough overview of existing theories while assessing their strengths and weaknesses. The authors introduce their DEKI account of representation, applicable to both material and non-material models, and explore its connections to mathematics and the arts. This work serves as a vital resource for both novices and researchers seeking clarity in a rapidly expanding field.
