The journal Philosophies (ISSN 2409-9287, http://bit.ly/Philosophies ) invites contributions to the Special Issue entitled "Meta-Philosophy of Science", edited by Prof. Robert Rynasiewicz (Department of Philosophy, Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, Johns Hopkins University). The deadline for manuscripts submission is 1 September 2017 . The goal of this peer-reviewed Special Issue is to shed light on the following questions: How should we conceive of science as an historical entity over time?

Does it display cyclic developmental patterns with radical discontinuities, as Kuhn famously argued? Is it just one thing after another subject to historical contingency and perhaps methodological anarchy, as Feyerabend appears to have advocated? What categories are proper and adequate to describe its development? Or...
