\nTopics
\nThe complex network of interests (epistemic\, financial\, reputational etc.)\, as well as legal rights and duties that frame the scientific and social ecosystem in which pharmacology is embedded\, make it a unique blend of science and technology. And latest scientific advancements has revealed a lot of new aspects and new questions that require an interdisciplinary approach to be answered. In this Handbook\, philosophers and health scientists will provide a panorama of the complex interaction of such heterogeneous dimensions with a special focus on the current debates on: 1) standards of evidence\; 2) evolution of methods and tools for statistical and scientific inference\; 3) pragmatics as well as epistemic asymmetry of causal assessment of benefits vs. harms\; 4) ethical and societal issues. The Handbook aims to offer an exhaustive overview on current critical issues in pharmacology from various perspectives: formal epistemology\, social epistemology\, philosophy of medicine\, general philosophy of science\, philosophy of statistics\, meta-science\, social studies of science\, economics\, bioethics\, law and policy.
\nWe invite all the interested scholars to submit a chapter proposal\, both neutral and positions papers are welcomed. The topics to be tackled include - but are not limited to - the following ones\, whose scope sometimes overlap:
