Simulation and Similarity: Using Models to Understand the World - Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Weisberg, Michael (Department Chair and Professor, Department Chair and Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania)
This book is an account of modeling and idealization in modern scientific practice, focusing on concrete, mathematical, and computational models. The main topics of this book are the nature of models, the practice of modeling, and the nature of the relationship between models and real-world phenomena. In order to elucidate the model/world relationship, Weisberg develops a novel account of similarity called weighted feature matching.
