Philosophy of astrophysics and philosophy of cosmology are still emerging
fields within philosophy of physics and general philosophy of science. The
overall aim of this workshop is to bring together philosophers and
researchers in the physical sciences to collectively explore
epistemological and methodological issues in philosophy of astrophysics and
cosmology with particular attention to the contributions of observational
and experimental evidence in these fields. Some of the topics with which we
aim to engage include: the validity of simulation assumptions, use of
models and theories in data processing, considerations invoked when
integrating different theoretical and/or methodological resources in one
application, potential strategies for constraining theory, and principled
constraints on what we can know.
