This chapter examines the philosophical underpinnings of simulation science, with particular emphasis on the new challenges created by the increased use of computational modelling throughout many disciplines of science. In order to illuminate these philosophical discussions, the discussion here focuses on simulation in the context of Artificial Life – a field which seeks the ‘simulation and synthesis of living systems’.
