DESCRIPTION:<p>Call for Abstracts: Sciences of the origin: the challenges of the selection effects and biases&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Online conference - June 3-4\, 2021&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Institute of Philosophy\, University of Belgrade - The Sciences of the Origin project&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>https://sciorigin.weebly.com&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This conference will facilitate exchange of ideas between philosophers\, scientists and other scholars working&nbsp\; on the scientific quest for the origins of life\, mind and the universe. To study the deep past scientifically\, it is&nbsp\; necessary to be methodologically omnivorous and to follow multiple lines of evidence. The conversation will&nbsp\; aim at reflecting on how methodologies and ideas across disciplines are intertwined in these sciences\, and how they respond to their common challenges: a pronounced under-determination of theories based on the indirect evidence of deep history\, various selection effects and biases\, inherent interdisciplinary approach\, and a crucial assimilation of techniques from multiple disciplines. It will examine how exactly the selection&nbsp\; effects and biases are battled through plurality of approaches and multiple strategies\, and how the quest for&nbsp\; objectivity is pursued via triangulation and confrontation of diverse perspectives rather than the imitation of&nbsp\; the exact natural sciences and proposing of neutrality to these perspectives.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Submissions are welcome\, but not restricted to\, the following:&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Selection effects and biases in the sciences of the origin (cosmology\, biology\, paleontology\,&nbsp\; archeology&hellip\;)&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Underdetermination and indirect evidence&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Cross-disciplinary experimental and observational techniques&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ The limits and dangers of interdisciplinarity&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Examining older data to find new inroads in research&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Novel technologies helping to uncover the unseen past&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Origin of life in biology\, its understanding and definition&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Metaphysical under-determination of the self in cognitive science&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Evolutionary sciences and human sociality&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Scientific and humanistic methodologies and ideas in search of origins&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ (Dis)unity of sciences of the origins&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ The quest of materiality\, trace-based and evidential reasoning&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Integration of hard and social sciences&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>▪ Historical interaction between theological and cosmological ideas&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Submissions: please send an abstract of up to 500 words suitably prepared for a blind review to&nbsp\; scienceso...@gmail.comby May 1st\, 2021. The potential speakers will be notified by May 15\, 2021.&nbsp\;No attendance or registration fees will be required to join the conference.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n\n<p>Scientific Committee: Adrian Currie (University of Exeter)\, Milan Ćirković (Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade/Oxford)\, Philip Goff (Durham University)\, Benedikt Paul G&ouml\;cke (Ruhr-Universit&auml\;t Bochum)\,&nbsp\;Du&scaron\;an Mihailović (University of Belgrade)\, Monika Milosavljević (University of Belgrade)\, Janko Ne&scaron\;ić&nbsp\;(University of Belgrade)\, Slobodan Perović (University of Belgrade).</p>
