Simulating nature : a philosophical study of computer-simulation uncertainties and their role in climate science and policy advice / Arthur C. Petersen.
Computer simulation has become an important means for obtaining knowledge about nature. The practice of scientific simulation and the frequent use of uncertain simulation results in public policy raise a wide range of philosophical questions. Most prominently highlighted is the field of anthropogeni...
