Robert W. Batterman - The Devil in the Details: Asymptotic Reasoning in Explanation, Reduction, and Emergence
Published: 2001-11-29 | ISBN: 0195146476 | PDF | 160 pages | 7 MB
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. This book introduces a valuable new method that is certain to fill explanatory gaps across disciplines.
