14 lip 2021 · We show how a resulting idealization and devaluation of others can be stabilized by attributing unexpected behaviour to fictive external factors.
21 sie 2023 · A key model feature is that phases of devaluation and/or idealization are consolidated by rationally attributing counter-evidence to external factors. For example, when another person is idealized, their less-than-perfect behavior is attributed to unfavorable external circumstances.
While all three kinds of idealization can be found in scientific practice, they share enough in common that they can be characterized and studied in a unified way. The key is to focus not just on the practice and products of idealization, but on the goals governing and guiding it.

20 maj 2020 · I will offer a set of concepts and principles to improve transparency about the precise contents of idealizations (in terms of negligibility, applicability, tractability, and early-step status) and their distinct functions (such as contributing to minimal modeling, benchmark modeling, and how-possibly modeling). 1.
the three types of idealization we will need to know what activity is characteristic of that form of idealization and how that activity is justified. These activities and justifications can be grouped into three kinds of idealization: Galilean idealization, minimalist idealization, and multiple-models idealization. Galilean Idealization.
22 sty 2019 · We introduce work on epistemic value to the debate surrounding idealizations and understanding, arguing that idealizations qua falsehoods confer only non-epistemic value to understanding. We argue for this claim by criticizing the leading accounts of how idealizations provide understanding.
