(2018) The structure of interdisciplinary science, Dordrecht, Springer.
In this chapter, the required philosophical foundation for a representation-based account of interdisciplinarity is explicated. Focus is mostly on the work of Ronald Giere, Stephen Downes, Michael Weisberg, Bas van Fraassen, and Martin Thomson-Jones. Through discussing the positions of these philosophers, an enriched version of Giere's account of scientific representation is developed. The chapter ends by summing up why this constitutes a good foundation for an approach-based framework.
