Workshops and Conferences
The activities of PSE will cover a period of five years. Two large conferences will be held, one in the first and one in the fifth year; workshops will be organized in the remaining years.
The first general conference, on “The present situations in the philosophy of science”, will take place in Vienna on December 18-20 2008 and will give an opportunity to identify specific topics on which teams can liaise thereafter.
On the second, third and fourth year teams will organize separate workshops focused on the following general topics:
second year: "Explanation, prediction and confirmation";
third year: "Probability and statistics";
fourth year: "The sciences that philosophy has neglected".
On the fifth year a closing plenary conference will be held in Bologna on "New directions in the philosophy of science".
