作为媒介的模型讨论了模型在现代科学中的作用方式，特别是在物理学和经济学领域。模型在科学中扮演着各种各样的角色：它们被用于理论的发展、探索和应用以及测量方法。它们还为运用科学概念和原理干预世界提供了工具。编辑们提供了一个涵盖科学模型的构建和功能的框架，并探索了它们使我们能够了解理论和世界的方法。该卷的贡献者提供了他们自己的个人理论观点，涵盖了广泛的建模例子，从物理学，经济学和化学。这些论文为理解建模的概念和典型元素提供了理想的案例研究材料，使用了哲学和科学史的分析方法。
Models as Mediators discusses the ways in which models function in modern science, particularly in the fields of physics and economics. Models play a variety of roles in the sciences: they are used in the development, exploration and application of theories and in measurement methods. They also provide instruments for using scientific concepts and principles to intervene in the world. The editors provide a framework which covers the construction and function of scientific models, and explore the ways in which they enable us to learn about both theories and the world. The contributors to the volume offer their own individual theoretical perspectives to cover a wide range of examples of modelling, from physics, economics and chemistry. These papers provide ideal case-study material for understanding both the concepts and typical elements of modelling, using analytical approaches from the philosophy and history of science.
