5th Conference of the German Society for Philosophy of Science - GWP.2025

The German The registration for the Fifth International Conference of the German Society for Society for Philosophy of Science (Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftsphilosophie – GWP) was founded in September 2011 with the aim to better integrate the community of philosophers of science and academics interested in philosophy of science in Germany and thereby to promote the field at a local and international level. The GWP organizes an international conference every three years.

Our fifth conference will be hosted by the FAU Kompetenzzentrum für interdisziplinäre Wissenschaftsreflexion (ZIWIS) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and co-hosted by its Institut für Philosophie from 24th until 26th of March 2025. The ZIWIS (www.ziwis.fau.de) pursues the goal of understanding philosophy of science in an application-oriented way and linking it with other areas of science studies, which is characterized by the concept of “Wissenschaftsreflexion” (“reflection on science”).

The GWP.2025 will comprise around 130 submitted talks in numerous sections ranging from General Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of Medicine, AI, Physics and Biology to Science and Society, Science and Values and History of Science and many more.

In addition, there will be six symposia and six plenary lectures by:

Kevin Elliott (Michigan State)
