Today many philosophers of science talk of 'robustness', often without specifying in a precise way the meaning of this term.

This book offers for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the problem of robustness, and in general, that of the reliability of science, based on several detailed case studies and on philosophical essays inspired by the so-called practical turn in philosophy of science.…
