[PhilPhys] Call for participation: online CHSTM group on History and Philosophy of Contemporary Theoretical Physics

[Guy Hetzroni]

Dear all,

I am writing to invite you to attend our online working group on the
history and philosophy of contemporary theoretical physics
(*https://www.chstm.org/group/history-and-philosophy-contemporary-theoretical-physics
<https://www.chstm.org/group/history-and-philosophy-contemporary-theoretical-physics>*)
as part of the Consortium for the History of Science, Technology, and
Medicine (*https://www.chstm.org <https://www.chstm.org/>*).



We meet on the second Wednesday of every month to read a paper by a guest
scholar (and hopefully an associated primary source). All material is
uploaded to the group website (available after registration).


The next three upcoming meetings are:


Wednesday, November 12, 2025, 2:30 - 4:00 pm GMT

Steven French "From a Lost History to a New Future: Is a Phenomenological
Approach to Quantum Physics Viable?”

With a primary source: London and Bauer "The Theory of Observation in
Quantum Mechanics”


Wednesday, December 10, 2025, 2:30 - 4:00 pm GMT

Christoph Lehner, Jos Uffink, "Schrödinger, Szilard, and the emergence of
the EPR argument" (forthcoming)

With a primary source: Schrödinger, "The Present Status of Quantum
Mechanics" (1935)


Wednesday, January 14, 2026, 2:30 - 4:00 pm GMT

Daniela Monaldi - "The Statistical Style of Reasoning and the Invention of
Bose-Einstein Statistics"


Hope to see you there,
Guy (together with Noah Stemeroff (University of Bristol) and Bernadette
Lessel (University of Bonn).
