The Development in Humanities series publishes books in what may be broadly understood as the humanities, especially books in such disciplines as philosophy, cultural studies, psychology, sociology, and religious studies. The authors represent both theoretical and more practical approaches, including empirical ones. As a general rule, they have considerable research. The research results presented in the series can contribute in many ways to the development of today's humanities by, among other things, fostering a constructive debate. These publications are directed both at experts in relevant disciplines as well as to those readers who, while not carrying out such research themselves, are interested in the discussed issues and have sufficient competences to explore them. The anaysis of the actual practice of scientific research within the contemporary methodology and philosophy of science demonstrated the central role played there by models and metaphors. Pawel Zeidler's book, Models and Metaphors as Research Tools in Science, puts forward an analysis of the basic reasons for this breakthrough and points to the major consequences that have resulted from it, both for scientific practice and for the methodological and philosophical reflexion on these practices.
