| Abstract: | In this article, we reflect on the use of formal methods in the philosophy of science. These are taken to comprise not just
methods from logic broadly conceived, but also from other formal disciplines such as probability theory, game theory, and
graph theory. We explain how formal modelling in the philosophy of science can shed light on difficult problems in this domain. |
