 Editado por: Stella Evangelidou y Angel Martínez-Hernáez Synopsis El término reset apela a la sensación de reinicio, paréntesis o stand-by que ha sacudido nuestras vidas desde el inicio del año 2020 a consecuencia de la pandemia de COVID-19. Como suele ocurrir, los reinicios alimentan la incertidumbre; en ellos se depositan esperanzas y también precauciones. Son ambiguos en términos de su temporalidad, pues en ellos se confunde fácilmente el acto de reiniciar con lo que ya se está reiniciando. Son límite y limen, y, como tal, engullen pasado, presente y futuro. Este libro se ha escrito desde el reset de forma coral, pues incorpora 48 reflexiones elaboradas durante el punto álgido de la pandemia, entre el 14 de abril y el 11 de mayo de 2020, en diferentes países.

 Call for Papers: Weight and Weighing Practices in the Early Modern Period. A Multidisciplinary Perspective. (ONLINE) Organizer: Cesare Pastorino, Technische Universität, Berlin As a part of the research project “The Weight of Things”(*) I am organizing the workshop “Weight and Weighing Practices in the Early Modern Period: a Multidisciplinary Perspective.” The workshop will be held online in the last week of February 2021. Weighing was a ubiquitous activity of pre- and early modern societies. The earliest and most common form of material testing, it had a crucial role in commerce and technical, artisanal, and pre-industrial contexts. Notions of weight and weighing practices were essential to learned disciplines like medicine, pharmacy, and natural philosophy. Recent scholarship in art history has also identified weight as a relevant category for the production and reception of early modern art objects.  This workshop wants to bring together historia...

 We are soliciting papers for a special issue in Studies of History and Philosophy of Science, Part A , on the topic “Pursuitworthiness in Scientific Inquiry”. The special issue will be co-edited by Dunja Šešelja (TU Eindhoven) and Jamie Shaw (University of Toronto). Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2021. The topic of pursuitworthiness in scientific inquiry received a lot of attention throughout the last decades of the 20th century. While this theme draws its roots from Peirce’s ‘economy of research’ and discussions that followed Reichenbach’s distinction between the context of discovery and the context of justification, pursuitworthiness became an explicit topic of philosophical accounts in the post-Kuhnian literature. Starting from Laudan’s (1977) ‘context of pursuit’, to McMullin’s (1976) ‘heuristic appraisal’, to Anne-Whitt’s (1992) ‘indices of theory-promise’ different accounts aimed at explicating ways of evaluating the promising character of scientific inquir...

Call for Papers Virtual entities in science: a virtual workshop 5, 12 and 19 March 2021, online Organized by the Project “Virtual Particles” (A1) of the Research Unit “The Epistemology of the Large Hadron Collider” Not only since the sudden increase of online communication due to the COVID-19 situation has the concept of the “virtual” made its way into everyday language. In this context, it mostly denotes a digital substitute of a real object or process. “Virtual reality” is perhaps the best known term in this respect. With these digital connotations, “virtuality” has been used also in science and research: Chemists use virtual laboratories, biologists do virtual scanning of molecular structures, and geologists engage in virtual field trips. But the concept of the “virtual” has a much longer tradition, dating back to long before the dawn of the digital age. Virt...
