This comprehensive volume brings together cutting-edge scholarship on scientific understanding and scientific representation, delving into their intricate interplay. Presented in an engaging 'critical conversation' format, the book integrates discussions on understanding and representation with perennial issues in the philosophy of science, including the nature of scientific knowledge, idealizations, scientific realism, scientific inference, and scientific progress.
In the realm of philosophy of science, the exploration of scientific understanding and scientific representation has only recently converged. The chapters in this volume advance these discussions from diverse perspectives, encompassing a range of topics. From case studies in physics, chemistry, and neuroscience to the representational challenges of machine learning models; from special forms of representation such as maps and topological models to the relationship between understanding and explanation; and from the role of idealized representations to the role of representation and understanding in scientific progress, the chapters offer fresh insights.
Scientific Understanding and Representation is a valuable resource for scholars and advanced students engaged in the fields of philosophy of science, philosophy of physics, philosophy of mathematics, and epistemology. It provides a comprehensive examination of these critical topics, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between scientific understanding and scientific representation.
