Nancy Cartwright is one of the most distinguished and influential
contemporary philosophers of science. Despite the profound impact
of her work, there is neither a systematic exposition of
Cartwright's philosophy of science nor a collection of articles
that contains in-depth discussions of the major themes of her
philosophy. This book is devoted to a critical assessment of
Cartwright's philosophy of science and contains contributions from
Cartwright's champions and critics. Broken into three parts, the
book begins by addressing Cartwright's views on the practice of
model building in science and the question of how models represent
the world before moving on to a detailed discussion of
methodologically and metaphysically challenging problems. Finally,
the book addresses Cartwright's original attempts to clarify
profound questions concerning the metaphysics of science. With
contributions from leading scholars, such as Ronald N. Giere and
Paul Teller, this unique volume will be extremely useful to
philosophers of science the world over.
