Description

Roman Frigg's Models and Theories: A Philosophical Inquiry explores the nature of scientific models and theories, a topic of ongoing debate in philosophy of science. Over two decades of research, Frigg provides an accessible yet critical introduction to the key topics and questions in analytical philosophy of science since the 1920s. The book delves into various aspects of models and theories, including their linguistic and model-theoretical views, scientific representation, and modelling in practice. These discussions examine how models relate to theories, what constitutes a model, and how robustness analysis and perspectivism address multi-model situations. This comprehensive treatment makes it an essential read for advanced undergraduates, researchers, and professional philosophers working in philosophy of science and philosophy of technology.
