This book presents a novel approach to the analysis of
interdisciplinary science based on the contemporary philosophical
literature on scientific representation. The basic motivation for
developing this approach is that epistemic issues are
insufficiently dealt with in the existing literature on
interdisciplinarity. This means that when interdisciplinary science
is praised (as it often is), it is far from clear to what extent
this praise is merited - at least if one cares about various more
or less standardised measures of scientific quality. To develop a
more adequate way of capturing what is going on in
interdisciplinary science, the author draws inspiration from the
rich philosophical literature on modelling, idealisation,
perspectivism, and scientific pluralism. The discussion hereof
reveals a number of critical pitfalls related to transferring
mathematical and conceptual tools between scientific contexts,
which should be relevant and interesting for anyone actively
engaged in funding, evaluating, or carrying out interdisciplinary
science.
