The New Mechanical Philosophy
Oxford: Oxford University Press (2017)
Abstract
This volume argues for a new image of science that understands both natural and social phenomena to be the product of mechanisms, casting the work of science as an effort to understand those mechanisms. Glennan offers an account of the nature of mechanisms and of the models used to represent them in physical, life, and social sciences.Author's Profile
