This volume surveys the current state of the debate and explores new avenues of research into the epistemology of thought experiments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMélanie Frappier\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of Humanities in the Department of History of Science and Technology, University of King's College, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLetitia Meynell\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Gender and Women's Studies at Dalhousie University, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Robert Brown\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 23, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47577723371741,"sku":"9781138921832","price":120.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/Q21wdkdYMS91OFo2Wmx0REl3TzlEdz09.webp?v=1773489170","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/thought-experiments-in-science-philosophy-and-the-arts-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
