While philosophical interest in models has been remarkably lively over the last two decades, there are still many underexplored questions. \u003ci\u003eThe Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Scientific Modeling\u003c\/i\u003e is an outstanding reference source and guide to this fast-growing area and is the first volume of its kind. Comprised of 40 specially commissioned chapters by an international team of contributors, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e is organized into five clear parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHistorical and General Perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhilosophical Accounts of Modeling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMethodological Aspects: Model Construction, Evaluation, and Calibration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelated Topics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModeling in the Wild.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin these parts, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e covers a diverse range of topics, including historical perspectives on modeling, the relationship between models, theories, representation, idealization, and understanding, and related topics like big data, simulation, and statistical and computational modeling. Different kinds of models are discussed, for example, network models, financial models, and climate and synthetic models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Scientific Modeling\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy of science, formal epistemology, and philosophy of social sciences.
