DESCRIPTION:<p>o How do scientists&rsquo\; initial conjectures about the entities and processes under their scrutiny influence the choice of variables\, the structure of mature scientific theories\, and methods of interpretation of those theories?</p>\n<p>o How do methods of data generation\, statistical modeling\, and analysis influence the construction and appraisal of theories at multiple levels?</p>\n<p>o How does historical analysis of the development of scientific theories illuminate the interplay between scientific methodology\, theory building\, and the interpretation of scientific theories?</p>\n<p><strong>This conference brings together prominent philosophers of science\, biology\, cognitive science\, causation\, economics\, and physics with philosophically minded scientists engaged in research into these interconnected methodological and ontological questions.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Registration is free but required.&nbsp\;</strong>To register for the conference and for&nbsp\;a detailed description of conference themes\, paper titles\, and abstracts\, as well as lodging information\, please see the conference website:&nbsp\;<a  href="http://www.ratiocination.org/OM2013/about.html"  target="_blank">http://www.ratiocination.org/OM2013/about.html</a>.</p>
