The editor and editorial board of the book series New Directions in Philosophy of Science (published by Palgrave-Macmillan) would like to invite proposals for monographs and themed collections. Recent work in the philosophy of science is notable for not only incorporating detailed and informed case studies from scientific practice but also for drawing on ideas, techniques and perspectives from other disciplines, including metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophy of the special sciences, the philosophy of art and, of course, the history of science. The intention behind the series is to offer a new, dedicated, publishing forum for the kind of exciting new work in the philosophy of science that embraces novel directions and perspectives. To this end, our aim is to publish books that address issues in the philosophy of science from the standpoint of these new developments, including those that attempt to initiate a dialogue between various perspectives, or, alternatively, offer cons...

CALL FOR PAPERS: FROM PRACTICE TO RESULTS IN LOGIC AND MATHEMATICS UNIVERSITY OF NANCY, FRANCE, 21-23 JUNE, 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS: FROM PRACTICE TO RESULTS IN LOGIC AND MATHEMATICS UNIVERSITY OF NANCY, FRANCE, 21-23 JUNE, 2010 The PratiScienS group invites the submission of research papers for a conference on the role of practices in the establishment of results in logic and mathematics. This conference is aimed at discussing and exploring the practice of mathematics and logic from an epistemological standpoint. That is, we look for papers on how the concrete practices of mathematicians and logicians may influence the results of their enquiries and, more broadly, the notion of what counts as proof. Through this conference, the PratiScienS group also aims at promoting a methodological reflection on the difficulties that a critical analysis of such practices in logic and mathematics implies and on issues related to the development of the appropriate exploratory conceptual tools. Invited Speakers include Jean-Paul Van Bendegem, Jessica Carter, Karine Chemla, Jeremy Gray, Bre...
