This book, the first edited collection of its kind, explores the recent emergence of philosophical research in astrophysics. It assembles a variety of original essays from scholars who are currently shaping this field, and it combines insightful overviews of the current state of play with novel, significant contributions. It therefore provides an ideal source for understanding the current debates in philosophy of astrophysics, and it offers new ideas for future cutting-edge research. The selection of essays offered in this book addresses methodological and metaphysical questions that target a wide range of topics, including dark matter, black holes, astrophysical observations and modelling. The book serves as the first standard resource in philosophy of astrophysics for all scholars who work in the field and want to expand or deepen their knowledge, but it also provides an accessible guide for all those philosophers and scientists who are interested in getting a first, basic understanding of the main issues in philosophy of astrophysics. 410 0$aSynthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,$x2542-8292 ;$v472 606 $aScience?Philosophy 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aMolecules?Models 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 606 $aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences 606 $aMolecular Modelling 606 $aEpistemology 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 615 0$aScience?Philosophy. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aMolecules?Models. 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences. 615 24$aMolecular Modelling. 615 24$aEpistemology. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 676 $a501 702 $aMills Boyd$b Nora$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDe Baerdemaeker$b Siska$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHeng$b Kevin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMatarese$b Vera$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910731412903321 996 $aPhilosophy of Astrophysics$93398833 997 $aUNINA
