Epistemology of Science: A Workshop at the Intersection of Epistemology & Philosophy of Science
September 20, 2019 - September 21, 2019
Epistemology of Science aims to encourage collaboration between the disciplines of epistemology and philosophy of science. Participants from both disciplines will engage in both first-order discussion of issues at the intersection of epistemology and philosophy of science and meta-level discussion of how the two fields can productively interact.
The workshop will feature keynote addresses by Sandy Goldberg (Northwestern University) and Miriam Solomon (Temple University).
Workshop format
The workshop will feature both epistemologists and philosophers of science.
Talks will last twenty minutes, followed by ten minutes of commentary and a fifteen-minute Q&A.
