Extending Ourselves: Computational Science, Empiricism, and Scientific Method
ISBN: 9780195158700 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Computational methods such as computer simulations, Monte Carlo methods, and agent-based modeling have become the dominant techniques in many areas of science. Extending Ourselves contains the first systematic philosophical account of these new methods, and how they require a different approach to scientific method. Paul Humphreys draws a parallel between the ways in which such computational methods have enhanced our abilities to mathematically model the world, and the more familiar ways in which scientific instruments have expanded our access to the empirical world. This expansion...

Emergence
ISBN: 9780190620325 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Interest in emergence amongst philosophers and scientists has grown in recent years, yet the concept continues to be viewed with skepticism by many. In this book, Paul Humphreys argues that many of the problems arise from a long philosophical tradition that is overly committed to synchronic reduction and has been overly focused on problems in philosophy of mind. He develops a novel account of diachronic ontological emergence called transformational emergence, shows that it is free of the problems raised against synchronic accounts, shows that there are plausible examples of transformational...

The Chances of Explanation: Causal Explanation in the Social, Medical, and Physical Sciences
ISBN: 9780691634739 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book provides a post-positivist theory of deterministic and probabilistic causality that supports both quantitative and qualitative explanations. Features of particular interest include the ability to provide true explanations in contexts where our knowledge is incomplete, a systematic interpretation of causal modeling techniques in the social sciences, and a direct realist view of causal relations that is compatible with a liberal empiricism. The book should be of wide interest to both philosophers and scientists. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy...

Digital Media: Transformations in Human Communication
ISBN: 9781433132865 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The age of digital media has given rise to a new social world. It is a world in which the transmission of information from the few to the many is steadily being supplanted by the multi-directional flow of facts, lies, and ideas. It is a world in which hundreds of millions of people are voluntarily depositing large amounts of personal details in publicly accessible databases. It is a world in which interpersonal relationships are increasingly being conducted in the virtual sphere. Above all, this is a world that seems to be veering off in unpredictable ways from the trends of the immediate... The age of digital media has given rise to a new social world.

ISBN: 9780415891967 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although scientific models and simulations differ in numerous ways, they are similar in so far as they are posing essentially philosophical problems about the nature of representation. This collection is designed to bring together some of the best work on the nature of representation being done by both established senior philosophers of science and younger researchers. Most of the pieces, while appealing to existing traditions of scientific representation, explore new types of questions, such as: how understanding can be developed within computational science; how the format of...
