CFP: Hopos 2014

HOPOS, The International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science, is devoted to promoting serious, scholarly research on the history of the philosophy of science. We construe this subject broadly, to include topics in the history of related disciplines and in all historical periods, studied through diverse methodologies. We aim to promote historical work in a variety of ways, but especially through encouraging exchange among scholars through meetings, publications, and electronic media.

The program committee for HOPOS 2014 invites scholars to submit paper and symposium proposals for its tenth meeting, which will be held in Ghent,July 3-6, 2014.
