Dynamical Modelling and Scientific Development

Book:

• C.A. Hooker (Ed.) Philosophy and Foundations of Complex Dynamical Systems, Vol. 10 of the Handbook of Philosophy of Science, Amsterdam: Elsevier.
  • This volume is currently in preparation. Publication is anticipated for 2009. Its current contents, and those of other volumes, can be viewed here  

This will be the first volume of its kind on complex systems, which have now  penetrated all the sciences and in many cases (e.g. across all of biology, geoscience and psychology) are now central to their formulation and practice. Employing reflective research scientists and scientifically informed philosophers, this volume aims to capture and reflect on the distinctive basic contributions of complex systems to the various sciences and the distinctive fundamental issues raised: theoretical, experimental, methodological and more broadly philosophical.
