CfP: Bridging the Philosophies of Biology and Chemistry


First International Conference on

"Bridging the Philosophies of Biology and Chemistry"

25-27 June 2019
University of Paris Diderot, France

EXTENDED Deadline for Abstract Submission: 28 February 2019


The aim of this conference is to bring philosophers of biology and philosophers of chemistry together and to explore common grounds and topics of interest. We particularly welcome papers on (1) the philosophy of interdisciplinary fields between biology and chemistry; (2) historical case studies on the disciplinary divergence and convergence of biology and chemistry; and (3) the similarities and differences between philosophical approaches to biology and chemistry. Philosophy is broadly construed and includes epistemological, methodological, ontological, metaphysical, ethical, political, and legal issues of science.
