ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2, Melinda Bonnie Fagan situates perspectivism within her ongoing project on interdisciplinary research. She poses the “explanatory challenge” for interdisciplinary research, which arises from the diverse explanatory commitments in different specializations being an impediment to integrated interdisciplinary explanations. Fagan notes significant parallels with ongoing debates about perspectivism in the philosophy of science, and makes use of the latter debate to offer a taxonomy of possible relations between models.
