Details

We invite submissions for an international conference on the philosophy of science and the ethics of science from both historical and systematic perspectives. The conference is centered on the question of how Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy might help illuminate central issues in contemporary reflection on science.

In recent years, Schopenhauer has increasingly been recognized as a significant point of reference for work in both philosophy of science and ethics of science. In addition to foundational studies of his theory of science, there is growing interest in his influence on particular disciplines, including biology, physics, mathematics, and cognitive science. The conference aims to bring these lines of research into conversation and to explore their broader systematic relevance.

Please send abstracts (english or german) of approximately 300–500 words for 30-minute presentations to [email protected]
