The Devil in the Details: Asymptotic Reasoning in Explanation, Reduction, and Emergence - Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Batterman, Dr Robert W. (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Ohio State University)
Robert Batterman examines a form of scientific reasoning called asymptotic reasoning, arguing that it has important consequences for our understanding of the scientific process as a whole. He maintains that asymptotic reasoning is essential for explaining what physicists call universal behavior. With clarity and rigor, he simplifies complex questions about universal behavior, demonstrating a profound understanding of the underlying structures that ground them. Thisbook introduces a valuable new method that is certain to fill explanatory gaps across disciplines.
