DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Topological Structure on Scientific Theories</strong></p>\n<p><strong> Abstract</strong> &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>I review and amplify on some of the many uses of representing a scientific theory in a particular context not just as a collection of models\, but as a topological space.&nbsp\; Topological structure on a set encodes among that set&rsquo\;s elements a notion of similarity\, which proves fruitful in the analysis of a variety of issues central to the philosophy of science.&nbsp\; These include intertheoretic reduction\, idealization and approximation\, emergence\, the epistemic connection between modeling and knowledge\, and modality in science. The morals are twofold: first\, the further adoption of topological (and related) methods has the potential to aid decisive progress in philosophy of science\; and second\, the selection and justification of a topology is not a matter of technical convenience\, but rather often involves great conceptual and philosophical subtlety. &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;</p>
