Description:
The question of the relationship between philosophy and science is as old as the respective practices themselves. In recent debates, however, it may seem as if both have grown out of sync, talking past each other, often with little or no respect for each other’s realm and method, their arguments and positions. Our conference focuses on three main themes to address this gap:
I. HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
We will examine the relationship between philosophy and (the) science(s), their emergence, differing methods, and potential decline, across different historical periods, including, but not limited, to the Western canon from ancient to contemporary philosophy.
Participants who are interested in non-Western traditions (such as Islamicate or Buddhist philosophy) may submit a paper that does not correspond to the periodisation mentioned above.
