DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Thematic issue of Philosophia Scienti&aelig\; 18/2 (June 2014)</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Guest Editor:&nbsp\;</strong><strong>Oliver Schlaudt (Heidelberg)</strong><strong></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Submission deadline: June 1\, 2013</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Notification Date: September 1\, 2013</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Final version due: January 1\, 2014</strong><strong></strong></p>\n<p>The &ldquo\;practical turn&rdquo\; in contemporary philosophy of science also produced a rising interest for pragmatism. Pragmatic ideas were found in many philosophical traditions\, among them those dominating the 20th&nbsp\;century (already in 1976 Bouveresse mentioned pragmatism in Carnap). This new interest relies on a rather open definition of pragmatism\, like Rorty's according to which &ldquo\;pragmatic&rdquo\; means that &ldquo\;the vocabulary of practice is uneliminable&rdquo\;. There are however approaches to science where the vocabulary of practice is not only uneliminable\, but plays a fundamental role. This is the case particularly for authors during the &ldquo\;classical age&rdquo\; of pragmatism around 1900 who today are largely unknown. A German representative of this group is Hugo Dingler (1881-1954) who\, according to Philipp Frank\, was at the time the major figure of conventionalism in Germany\, and who had considerable influence on the young Carnap. Despite this influence\, and despite the reception Dingler's ideas found in Paul Lorenzen's constructivist &ldquo\;Erlangen School&rdquo\; from 1950 on\, today neither philosophers nor historians take notice of Dingler's original approach. One reason for this might be his concessions to National Socialist politics\, which pale\, however\, in comparison to those of a certain Martin Heidegger.</p>\n<p>In order to make known his interesting and promising account\, and also in order to measure the international reception of Poincar&eacute\;'s philosophy\, the journal Philosophia Scientiae (http://poincare.univ-nancy2.fr/PhilosophiaScientiae/) is preparing a special issue on "Hugo Dingler and the origins of pragmatism in German philosophy of science"\, whose guest editor will be Oliver Schlaudt (Heidelberg / Nancy).</p>\n<p>The journal invites submissions for publication.
