The philosophical novelty of computer simulation methods
Synthese 169 (3):615 - 626 (2009)
Abstract
Reasons are given to justify the claim that computer simulations and computational science constitute a distinctively new set of scientific methods and that these methods introduce new issues in the philosophy of science. These issues are both epistemological and methodological in kind.Author's Profile
