Across the Boundaries: Extrapolation in Biology and Social Science - Environmental Ethics and Science Policy Series
Steel, Daniel (Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Michigan State University)
Extrapolation consists of generalizing causal conclusions from one context to others that may differ in relevant aspects. In Across the Boundaries, Steel argues that previous accounts of extrapolation are inadequate and proposes a better approach that is able to answer methodological critiques of extrapolation from animal models to humans.
