CfP: Colloquium "Ignorances in the Sciences"
Call for contributions for the philosophy of science colloquium entitled "Ignorances in the Sciences", to be held on 14 and 15 March 2024 in Lyon (France).
You will find details of the call for proposals (arguments, registration and submission procedures) on the following platform: https://ignorancessciences.sciencesconf.org/
Summary of the rationale:
The main objective of the conference is to examine the way in which ignorance influences research in the various scientific disciplines (in both fundamental and applied research). Proposals for papers should contribute to a philosophical and epistemological investigation into ignorance - or ignorances - in the sciences. The ambition is therefore as much to question the philosophical content of scientific practices as to use the latter to construct a definition of ignorance or to put current conceptualisations to the test. The overall aim is to obtain a conception of ignorance that is enlightened and informed as much by its philosophical understandings as by its manifestations in scientific practices.
