\n

Naturalism has become an increasingly popular position in the philosophy of history over the past decade\, mainly through the works of Paul Roth\, Jouni-Matti Kuukkanen\, and most recently also Michal Hubá\;lek. As such\, it raises important questions about the object\, methods\, and aims of the philosophy of historiography\, as well as the field&rsquo\;s relationship to historiography. In this workshop\, we will discuss these and related questions on the occasion of the recent publication of Michal Hubá\;lek&rsquo\;s book \;Dissolving Naturalism and Historicism Into Each Other.

\n

The workshop is open to everybody. If you would like to join in person or via Zoom\, please register with \;georg.gangl@osu.cz \;by June 15. The registration is required solely for catering purposes and for the distribution of the workshop readings.
