CfP: special issue Pierre Duhem
In homage to Pierre Duhem on the
centennial of his death, Transversal:
International Journal for the Historiography of Science is pleased to
announce a Call for Papers dedicated to the topic “Pierre Duhem’s Philosophy
and History of Science”.
All best, on
behalf of the TIJHS editorial board,
Mauro Condé
Call for Papers: special issue Pierre Duhem
Deadline for paper
submission: Mach 30th, 2017.
Publication
of the issue: July, 2017.
We are expecting to receive
submissions related to Duhemian History of Science, and the impact it caused in
the subsequent historiography. Thus comparative analysis between Duhem and
other authors is welcomed, as well as case studies that search to evaluate the
conception of scientific development advocated by the French author, exploring
its current relevance and intrinsic limits.
Considering
the characteristic of Duhem’s unity of thought, articles addressing his
philosophy of science in relation to his apologetic project with the philosophy
and history of science will be appreciated.
We are also expecting book reviews
of Pierre Duhem’s recent translations or reprints, as well as books about the
Duhemian work.
In addition to English
articles, Transversal:
International Journal for the Historiography of Science accepts
articles in French, Portuguese and Spanish for evaluation, but after approval
for publication the author should send the final version in English.
Submission details:
Submissions must be received by March 30th, 2017 via the webpage of the Journal www.historiographyofscience.
Submissions
must be prepared for double blind review. Notification of acceptance, or
refusal or propositions for correction will be sent by May 30th, 2017.
