CALL FOR PAPERS /  APPEL À CONTRIBUTIONS 2nd Workshop /  Deuxièmes Journées d’études  Historical Epistemology: a history of the present Epistémologie Historique: une histoire du présent 19-20-21 May 2016 Ecole doctorale de Philosophie ED 280, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Institut des sciences Juridique & Philosophique de la Sorbonne – UMR 8130 Centre de Philosophie Contemporaine de la Sorbonne, Equipe EXeCO https://episthist.hypotheses.org *** [ English ] The working domain of this workshop corresponds to the domain of historical epistemology (HEP), broadly understood both as a “tradition” and as a method in philosophy and history of science. On this occasion we would like to investigate one of the most distinctive traits of HEP, that is, the  permanent tension between past and present  it instantiates. As testified by many of its practitioners, HEP is an inquiry which is present-oriented, or, alternatively, it is w...

Type: Online Digital Resources Subject Fields: Area Studies, Graduate Studies December 21, 2015 You can view the latest batch of recent doctoral dissertations harvested from the issues 76-03 A and B of Dissertation Abstracts pertaining to aspects of the broad scope of the history of medicine and science at the following URL:  http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/histmed/dissertations ProQuest has altered how they put out their individual issues.  No longer do they correlate to one month, so the dating is more random.  Thus titles will range from 2015-yes they have some 2015 dates-back into the1930’s. Because ProQuest has begun downloading a large number of earlier dissertations from many institutions a decision has been made to only include titles going back to 2010 in this database.  Anyone who wants the complete list of titles on this topic should email me directly at erlen@pitt.edu and I will email you the full list.

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy invites papers for the following event: FIRST PRINCIPLES IN SCIENCE: THEIR EPISTEMIC STATUS AND JUSTIFICATION MCMP, LMU Munich 10-11 June 2016 http://www. firstprinciples2016. philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/ index.html ****************************** *************** What is the epistemic status of first principles in science and how do scientists justify them accordingly? These are the central questions that will be discussed at this workshop. So far, discussions about first principles and their justification in science have focused largely on the natural sciences. For example, philosophical debates around Poincaré’s conventionalism or the relativized a priori are usually grounded in concrete case studies from physics. Yet, first principles occupy an equally important, yet controversial, role in other natural and as well i...
