Description
Key Features
Fictions in Science presents philosophical essays from leading experts examining the role of idealization in scientific modeling across multiple disciplines.
The book includes case studies ranging from physics to economics to biology, demonstrating how fictional elements appear throughout scientific practice.
Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in the Philosophy of Science series, offering scholarly analysis of scientific methodology.
Essays challenge the popular image of science as purely objective, exploring how scientists intentionally employ fictions and models in their work.
This collection reveals that scientific narratives and practice depend on fictional constructs as much as empirical observation and factual claims.
