4th South African Philosophy of Science Colloquium

4TH SOUTH AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM

ORGANISED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY, UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA

15-16 JANUARY 2015

Papers are invited for the 4th South African Philosophy of Science Colloquium.

There is a slight change in format to the colloquium in the sense that the colloquium in 2015 will run over two days. The first day will cover philosophy of science contributions, and the second day will cover contributions in formal logic. Note that the colloquium will commence the day after the annual Philosophical Society of Southern Africa Conference which runs from 12-14 January 2015 in Port Elizabeth (enquiries to [email protected]), so delegates could attend both events.   

Details of abstracts:

·        Papers can cover any theme in general philosophy of science or logic

·        Abstracts (1000 words) should reach Emma Ruttkamp-Bloem ([email protected]) on or before 30 November 2014

·        There will be 30-40 minute slots, depending on the number of papers selected

·        There are only 10 slots per day available
