This volume is a collection of original essays focusing on a wide
range of topics in the History and Philosophy of Science. It is a
festschrift for Peter Machamer, which includes contributions from
scholars who, at one time or another, were his students. The essays
bring together analyses of issues and debates spanning from early
modern science and philosophy through the 21st century. Machamer's
influence is reflected in the volume's broad range of topics. These
include: underdetermination, scientific practice, scientific
models, mechanistic explanation in contemporary and historical
science, values in science, the relationship between philosophy and
psychology, experimentation, supervenience and reductionism.

Scholars question the extent to which current psychiatric
classification systems are inadequate for diagnosis, treatment, and
research of mental disorders and offer suggestions for improvement.
In this volume, leading philosophers of psychiatry examine
psychiatric classification systems, including the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), asking whether
current systems are sufficient for effective diagnosis, treatment,
and research. Doing so, they take up the question of whether mental
disorders are natural kinds, grounded in something in the outside
world. Psychiatric categories based on natural kinds should group
phenomena in such a way that they are subject to the same type of
causal explanations and respond similarly to the same type of
causal interventions. When these categories do not evince such
groupings, there is reason to revise existing classifications. The
contributors all question current psychiatric classifications
systems and the assumptions on which they are based. They differ,
however, as to why and to what extent the categories are inadequate
and how to address the problem. Topics discussed include taxometric
methods for identifying natural kinds, the error and bias inherent
in DSM categories, and the complexities involved in classifying
such specific mental disorders as "oppositional defiance disorder"
and pathological gambling. Contributors George Graham, Nick Haslam,
Allan Horwitz, Harold Kincaid, Dominic Murphy, Jeffrey Poland,
