DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p>\n<p>Recent developments in fundamental physics (String Theory\, the Standard Model of particle physics and its extensions\, early universe cosmology\, etc.) offer promising case studies for investigating (the) scientific &ldquo\;method(s)&rdquo\; and its alleged dynamic and plastic nature. This workshop therefore proposes to review recent developments in fundamental physics (since the second half of the 20th century)\, in order to evaluate whether these developments entail significant methodological breaks with respect to the past. &ldquo\;Methods&rdquo\; is to be understood in a broad sense\, which includes criteria of epistemic appraisal (acceptance) and heuristic appraisal (pursuit)\, but also more globally the computational\, observational\, experimental\, and statistical means through which evidence is produced and assessed. The workshop welcomes perspectives from philosophers of science and philosophers of physics\, historians\, physicists\, social epistemologists\, and sociologists of science.</p>\n<p>The discussion will be organized intothree broad themes: &ldquo\;<strong>theory assessment in fundamental physics</strong>&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;<strong>epistemic implications of recent methodological approaches and new methodological challenges</strong>&rdquo\;\; and &ldquo\;<strong>social and other dimensions of scientific methodology</strong>&rdquo\;.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed speakers</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Elena Castellani (University of Florence)</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Richard Dawid (University of Stockholm)</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Helge Kragh (University of Copenhagen)</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Emilia Margoni (University of Geneva)</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Lydia Patton (Virginia Tech)</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Mike D.
