Thinking about science, reflecting on art: bringing aesthetics and philosophy of science together

This volume systematically examines the relationship between the philosophy of science and aesthetics.

With contributions from leading figures from both fields, this edited collection engages with such questions as: Does representation function in the same way in science and in art?

What important characteristic do scientific models share with literary fictions?

What is the difference between interpretation in the sciences and in the arts?

Can there be a science of aesthetics? In what ways can aesthetics and philosophy of science be integrated?
