Philosophy of Scientific Experimentation: A Challenge to Philosophy of Science
Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh
October 15-16, 2010
Call for Papers
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
