The Structure of Interdisciplinary Science

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the complexities of interdisciplinary science, this book critiques the existing literature for its inadequate treatment of epistemic issues. It questions the merit of praising interdisciplinary efforts without clear metrics of scientific quality. By exploring philosophical concepts like modelling, idealisation, and pluralism, the author highlights critical pitfalls in applying tools across different scientific contexts. This insightful analysis serves as a valuable resource for those involved in funding, evaluating, or conducting interdisciplinary research.
