Description:

This volume addresses questions regarding scientific creativity and imagination, the status of scientific performances--such as thought experiments and visual aids--and the role of aesthetic considerations in the context of discovery and justification of scientific theories.

Review Quotes: "The papers are quite consistent and follow a nice structure. Even if you are working on more technical issues in the philosophy of science, it would nice to read some of these papers to have a new and enlightening look on how our understanding of the actual work of science might be extended." - Adam Tamsa Tuboly, Hungarian Academy of Sciences
