The reviewed volume includes contributions presented at a conference in Dortmund, Germany, organized in 2016 by the Académie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences, The German Research Foundation, and the Technical University of Dortmund. Most of the materials come from the conference presentations and gravitate around a central theme: applying the ‘new mechanistic philosophy’ to physics, where mechanistic explanations and models have not been typically used (although some contributors in Part III tackle the applications of mechanisms to economics, medicine, computer science, or tangentially, biology).
