The Value of Scientific Representation. Classic Issues and Contemporary Challenges

Organized within the activities of the research project “Mary B. Hesse’s ‘new epistemology’. Principles and Legacy” (FCT/IFILNOVA), the conference aims to explore issues from the current debate on scientific representation that may be - directly or indirectly - connected with Hesse’s theoretical understanding of science. On a general level, we would like the speakers to engage with open questions related with the value of the scientific world-explanation from a variety of viewpoints that should not be limited to a philosophical or linguistic analysis of the issues explored, but may also involve contributions devoted to classic figures of the history and philosophy of science.

If you are interested in joining the conference, please send an abstract in English and not exceeding 300 words to Pietro Gori at the following address: [email protected]. - Deadline for submission: February 28th, 2023.
