REMINDER of upcoming deadline, February 17th

Du Châtelet Prize in Philosophy of Physics. Submit here: https://duchateletprize.org

This year’s prize topic (to be broadly conceived): “How the parts of matter act on one another, as that issue stood at any time in the period 1680-1780.”

Submissions may engage with this topic in any relevant respect, including (but not limited to): metaphysical, epistemological, methodological, conceptual, and evidential issues; pro- and anti- “Cartesian”, “Leibnizian”, and “Newtonian” approaches; celestial and terrestrial matter and phenomena; such topics as vortex theory, particle-to-particle interactions (as found in Newton’s Principia), the actions of bodies on one another (whether by collision, action-at a-distance, or other means), the status and role of “subtle matter”, and so forth; and such general issues of concern as causation, determinism, and induction as they relate explicilty to the actions of the parts of matter on one another.

Eligibility: graduate students and scholars within 5 years of Ph.D. as of the deadline for submissions.
