CfP: special issue Pierre Duhem
Deadline for paper submission: March 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.
