CfP to IDTC Symposium at XVIth CLMPST2019, Prague
Symposium proposed by the
Inter-Divisional Teaching Commission (IDTC) of the DHST/DLPMST of IUHPST
Papers
are sought for a proposed symposium under the title “Climate Change:
History and Philosophy of Science and NOS Challenges” at next year’s XVI
International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science
and Technology (CLMPST), due to be held in Prague from 5-10 August 2019
Rationale.
The
study of Climate Change as a philosophic subject was until recent times
at very early stages (Winsberg 2018). The first entry related to
‘Climate Science’ in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy appear as
late as 2018 (Parker, 2018). This is more awkward if we recall several
of the main issues related to Climate Change and the scientific practice
associated: epistemic trust, models, risk, uncertainty, probability,
values, data, instruments and complexity among many others.
Also,
the bridge between research on Climate Change and policy and social
spheres create problems that are not settled such as the epistemic trust
or, in some other communities the relation between science and
non-science.
At
the same time, the development of the philosophical study of Climate
Change can convey new educational insights to teach a diversity of
philosophical topics. This is particularly relevant to the philosopher
of science engaged in ‘social relevant philosophy’ but also to all the
other philosophers of science.
This Symposium aims to bring together philosophers of science prone to shed light upon the above issues and correlated ones.
If you are interested in participating in this Inter-Divisional Teaching Commission (IDTC) symposium, please send a 500-word abstract to Raffaele Pisano (raffaele.pisano@univ-lille3.
