Coverage ranges from historical approaches and general questions to physics and higher-level sciences . The contributors also consider the topics of complexity, emergence, and reduction. Mechanistic explanations detail how certain properties of a whole stem from the causal activities of its parts. This kind of explanation is in particular employed in explanatory models of the behavior of complex systems. Often used in biology and neuroscience, mechanistic explanation models have been often overlooked in the philosophy of physics. The authors correct this surprising neglect. They trace these models back to their origins in physics. The papers present a comprehensive historical, methodological, and problem-oriented investigation. The contributors also investigate the conditions for using models of mechanistic explanations in physics. The last papers make the bridge from physics to economics, the theory of complex systems and computer science . This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers with an interest in the philosophy of science, scientific explanation, complex systems, models of explanation in physics higher level sciences, and causal mechanisms in science. 410 0$aEuropean Studies in Philosophy of Science,$x2365-4228 ;$v11 606 $aMathematics?Philosophy 606 $aMechanics 606 $aMechanics, Applied 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aComputer science?Mathematics 606 $aPhilosophy of Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34020 606 $aClassical Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21018 606 $aTheoretical and Applied Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15001 606 $aHistory of Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E15000 606 $aMathematics of Computing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I17001 615 0$aMathematics?Philosophy. 615 0$aMechanics. 615 0$aMechanics, Applied. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aComputer science?Mathematics. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Mathematics. 615 24$aClassical Mechanics. 615 24$aTheoretical and Applied Mechanics. 615 24$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aMathematics of Computing. 676 $a146.6 676 $a530.01 702 $aFalkenburg$b Brigitte$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSchiemann$b Gregor$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349547403321 996 $aMechanistic Explanations in Physics and Beyond$91917771 997 $aUNINA
