Modeling the Possible
Models are used to explore possibilities across all scientific fields. Climate models simulate the potential future climatic conditions under various emissions scenarios, macroeconomic models investigate the implications of various fiscal and monetary policy initiatives, and infectious diseases models study the spread of viral diseases under a range of conditions. Such modeling approaches have not gone ignored by philosophers of science, but they have only recently started to explicitly address modeling the possible. So far, the discussion has been spread across a variety of more or less isolated pockets of debate in the philosophy of science. Modeling the Possible: Perspectives from Philoso...
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Scientific Modeling
Models and modeling have played an increasingly important role in philosophy, going back to the nineteenth century. While philosophical interest in models has been remarkably lively over the last two decades, there are still many underexplored questions. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Scientific Modeling is an outstanding reference source and guide to this fast-growing area and is the first volume of its kind. Comprised of 40 specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is organized into five clear parts: Historical and General Perspectives Philosophical Accounts of Modeling Methodological Aspects: Model Construction, Evaluation, and Calibra...

Abstraction in Science and Art
This volume explores the roles and uses of abstraction in scientific and artistic practice. Conceived as an interdisciplinary dialogue between experts across histories and philosophies of art and science, this collection of essays draws on the shared premise that abstraction is a rich and generative process, not reducible to the mere omission of details in a representation. When scientists attempt to make sense of complex natural phenomena, they often produce highly abstract models of them. In the history and philosophy of art, there is a long tradition of debate on the function of abstraction, and – more recently – its relation with theories of depiction. Adopting a process-oriented per...
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Delusion
Delusions play an important and fascinating role in philosophy and are a particularly fertile area of study in recent years, spanning philosophy of mind and psychology, epistemology, ethics, psychology, psychiatry, and cognitive science. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Delusion explores the conceptual and philosophical issues in the study of delusion and is the first major reference source of its kind. Comprising 38 chapters by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is divided into six clear parts: The Nature of Delusion Delusion in Disorders Epistemology of Delusion Delusion’s Place in the Mind Delusion Formation Responsibility, Culture, and Society. Within these sect...
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Disagreement
Disagreement is one of the deepest and most pervasive topics in philosophy; arguably its very bedrock, and is an ever-increasing feature of politics, ethics, public policy, science and many other areas. Despite the omnipresence of disagreement, the topic itself has received relatively little sustained examination. This outstanding handbook examines the philosophy of disagreement and how it extends to debates in public policy and science. Comprising 41 chapters by an international team of highly distinguished contributors, the Handbook is divided into six clear parts: Philosophy of Disagreement Epistemology of Disagreement Disagreement in Science Moral Disagreement Political Disagreement Disa...
The Routledge Handbook of Causality and Causal Methods
The Routledge Handbook of Causality and Causal Methods adopts a pluralistic, interdisciplinary approach to causality. It formulates distinct questions and problems of causality as they arise across scientific and policy fields. Exploring, in a comparative way, how these questions and problems are addressed in different areas, the Handbook fosters dialogue and exchange. It emphasizes the role of the researchers and the normative considerations that arise in the development of methodological and empirical approaches. The Handbook includes authors from all over the world and with many different disciplinary backgrounds, and its 50 chapters appear in print here for the first time. The chapters a...
The Routledge Handbook of Non-Ideal Theory
Made popular by John Rawls, ideal theory in political philosophy is concerned with putting preferences and interests to one side to achieve an impartial consensus and to arrive at a just society for all. In recent years, ideal theory has drawn increasing criticism for its idealised picture of political philosophy and its inability to account for the challenges posed by inequalities of, for example, race, gender, and class and by structural injustices stemming from colonialism and imperialism. The Routledge Handbook of Non-Ideal Theory is the first handbook or reference source on this important and fast-growing debate. Comprised of 34 chapters by an international team of contributors, the Han...
The Court of Reason
The Proceedings present the contributions to the 13th International Kant Congress which was held at the University of Oslo, August 6-9, 2019. The congress, which hosted speakers from more than thirty countries and five continents, was dedicated to the topic of the court of reason. The idea that reason stands before itself as a tribunal characterizes the whole of Kant's critical project. Without such a court, reason falls into conflict with itself. With such a court in place, however, it may succeed in establishing the possibility and limits of metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, law and science. The idea of reason being its own judge is not only pivotal to a proper understanding of Kant's philo...
Vilpittömässä mielessä
Lukijoiden rakastamassa sarjassa tamperelainen komisario Koskinen ratkoo mutkikkaita rikosvyyhtejä. Tammerkoskesta nostetaan hukkuneen miehen ruumis, ja Koskinen saa taas töitä. Uhri on joutunut veteen vain hetkeä aikaisemmin - toisen havainnon mukaan itse hypänneenä, toisen mukaan työnnettynä. Samaan aikaan kaupunkia järkyttää maahanmuuttajanaiseen kohdistunut veriteko. Lööpit mässäilevät jo kunniamurhalla, ja poliisin paineet kohoavat nopeasti kriittisiksi. Lähellä tapahtumien keskipistettä sijaitsee muuan asunto, jossa yksinäisyyteen tuomittu mies kirjoittelee sähköposteja. Hän on valmis mihin tahansa saavuttaakseen kaipaamansa... Viikko koituu rankaksi Koskisen johtamalle väkivaltajaokselle. Ja miksi komisarion ex-vaimo haluaa tavata Koskisen monen vuoden jälkeen? Seppo Jokinen (s. 1949 ) työskenteli 30 vuoden ajan Tampereen kaupungin tietotekniikkakeskuksessa, kunnes jäi vapaaksi kirjailijaksi vuonna 2006. Komisario Koskisesta kertovat kirjat muodostavat yhden Suomen suosituimmista dekkarisarjoista. Nykyään Koskisen tutkimuksia seurataan myös Eero Ahon tähdittämässä TV-sarjassa.
