Methodological Investigations in Agent-Based Modelling : with Applications for the Social Sciences

---

This Book Series is devoted to examining and solving the major methodological
problems social sciences are facing. Take for example the gap between empirical and
theoretical research, the explanatory power of models, the relevance of multilevel
analysis, the weakness of cumulative knowledge, the role of ordinary knowledge in
the research process, or the place which should be reserved to “time, change and
history” when explaining social facts. These problems are well known and yet they
are seldom treated in depth in scientific literature because of their general nature.
So that these problems may be examined and solutions found, the series prompts
and fosters the settingup of international multidisciplinary research teams, and it
is work by these teams that appears in the Book Series. The series can also host
books produced by a single author which follow the same objectives. Proposals for
manuscripts and plans for collective books will be carefully examined.
The epistemological scope of these methodological problems is obvious and
resorting to Philosophy of Science becomes a necessity. The main objective of the
Series remains however the methodological solutions that can be applied to the
problems in hand. Therefore the books of the Series are closely connected to the
research practices.
