Abstraction in Science and Art

Philosophical Perspectives

Herausgeber: Ambrosio, Chiara; Sánchez-Dorado, Julia

Beschreibung

This volume explores the roles and uses of abstraction in scientific and artistic practice. The essays draw on the shared premise that abstraction is a rich and generative process, not reducible to the mere omission of details in a representation.
