[PhilPhys] CFP: Philosophy of Scientific Experimentation, Second Call for Papers

[Center for Philosophy of Science]

Philosophy of Scientific Experimentation: A Challenge to Philosophy of
Science

Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh

October 15-16, 2010

 

Second Call for Papers; deadline June 1

 

This workshop will explore research in philosophy of scientific
experimentation that challenges dominant views in contemporary philosophy of
science. It will focus on the philosophical analysis of the design,
structure, calibration, use and the readings of experimental apparatus, as
well as broader experimental conditions. Some of the central philosophical
issues to consider in light of such analysis are the nature of scientific
theory, the role of evidence, and the structure of explanations and
understanding of natural phenomena. 

 

Keynote speakers: 

Allan Franklin, University of Colorado

Marcel Weber, University of Konstanz

 

We invite submissions of extended abstracts (1000 words) of papers of
approximately 30 minutes presentation time.  Please include your name, the
title of the paper, your academic affiliation and your e-mail address in the
submission.  The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2010. Please direct
your submissions to https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=philexp1.  The
decisions will be announced by July 15, 2010.  

 

Accommodation will be provided for speakers.

 

Organizing Committee: Slobodan Perovic (Chair), Allan Franklin, John D.
Norton, Wendy Parker, Marcel Weber.
