Description:
In genuine research activities they are used as evidence or as surrogates for research objects which are otherwise cognitively inaccessible. Philosophers of science have more or less neglected visual representations in their analyses of epistemic methods and tools of reasoning in science. This book is meant to fill this gap.
Review Quotes:
"The monograph is an important contribution to this timely topic: a must-read for authors who wish to write, or simply learn, about visualisation in science." - Sebastian De Haro, Trinity College Cambridge, United Kingdom, Grazer Philosophische Studien
