I argue that diversity and pluralism are valuable not just for science but for philosophy of science. Given the partiality and perspectivism of representation, pluralism preserving integration can increase accuracy. Perspectivism is often supported by appeal to visual representation. I draw further insights from multimodel sensory integration for understanding experiment-based predictions of protein structure. The epistemic lessons learned from the scientific case also apply to philosophy of science itself. Finally, I suggest that a critical, nuanced philosophical view of legitimate sources of pluralism in science has an important role to play in public discourse.

总统致辞:透过破碎的镜子

我认为多样性和多元主义不仅对科学有价值,而且对科学哲学也很有价值。考虑到代表性的偏向性和透视性,保持多元性的整合可以提高准确性。透视主义通常受到视觉表现形式的支持。我从多模型感官整合中获得了进一步的见解,以理解基于实验的蛋白质结构预测。从科学案例中学到的认知教训也适用于科学哲学本身。最后,我建议对科学多元主义合法来源的批判性、细致入微的哲学观点在公共话语中发挥重要作用。
