This volume argues for a new image of science that understands both natural and social phenomena to be the product of mechanisms, casting the work of science as an effort to understand those mechanisms. Glennan offers an account of the nature of mechanisms and of the models used to represent them in physical, life, and social sciences.

Scientists studying the burning of stars, the evolution of species, DNA, the brain, the economy, and social change, all frequently describe their work as searching for mechanisms. Despite this fact, for much of the twentieth century philosophical discussions of the nature of mechanisms remained outside philosophy of science. The Routledge Handbook of Mechanisms and Mechanical Philosophy is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting subject and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into four Parts: Historical perspectives on mechanisms The nature of mechanisms Mechanisms and the philosophy of science Disciplinary perspectives on mechanisms. Within these Parts central topics and problems are examined, including the rise of mechanical philosophy in the seventeenth century; what mechanisms are made of and how they are organized; mechanisms and laws and regularities; how mechanisms are discovered and explained; dynamical systems theory; and disciplinary perspectives from physics, chemistry, biology, biomedicine, ecology, neuroscience, and the social sciences. Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of science, the Handbook will also be of interest to those in related fields, such as metaphysics, philosophy of psychology, and history of science.

The mechanical philosophy originates in the 18th century and is based on ideas that were already advocated by ancient philosophers. Instead of explaining the world with the help of gods and founding a whole value system based on the teachings of a religion, the followers of mechanical philosophy sought their answers in nature and its laws. For them, the universe was a gigantic and complex mechanism governed by the principle of cause and effect. They even extended this view onto human beings, seeing them as another product of nature and not as a divine creation. The free will, of whose existence we are all convinced, is questioned as well. What follows from this world view and what does it mean for us, for our society and our understanding of morality, guilt, good and evil? The book "The Cog in the Wheel" is conceived as a compact work that is intended to provide the reader with the most comprehensive insight possible into the fundamentals and conclusions of mechanical philosophy. The structure of the book is pragmatic and starts with an explanation of the terms materialism, determinism and the principle of causality. In the next chapter the far-reaching consequences of these propositions are presented and explained. Here, numerous topics are taken up which, under the premise of mechanical philosophy, must be reassessed. These include, for example, the concept of nature, the difference between animate and inanimate matter, the highest good for mankind, and considerations regarding the meaning of life. The book contains examples, usually following theoretical explanations, which present the preceding information in a comprehensible way. This should also give those readers an introduction to the subject who have never dealt with it before. The last chapter is a summary and serves the practical application of theoretical knowledge. This handbook is not primarily intended as a guide to life but is mainly designed to introduce the interested reader to a particular school of philosophy, from its foundations to its application.
