The Lisbon International Conferences on
Philosophy of Science are biennial conferences organized by the Centre of Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon [cfcul.fc.ul.pt]. The conferences are directed to a wide audience
with
interests in the philosophy of science broadly conceived. Reflecting
the main lines of research of our Centre, we are especially interested
in subjects related to:
·
Epistemology and Methodology;
·
Philosophy of the Natural Sciences;
·
Philosophy of the Life Sciences;
·
Philosophy of the Human Sciences, Ethics, and Politics;
·
Science and Art.
However, we invite Abstracts and proposals for Symposia on any topic of interest in philosophy of science.

Submissions
English

is assured for all: the scientific committee will not be granted access
