Abstract
The last twenty years have seen multiple methodological revolutions in the philosophy of science: There has been increased diversity concerning the questions asked, who asks those questions, who the relevant audiences are, and what the techniques and tools involved are. In Methods in the Philosophy of Science: A User’s Guide, Sophie Veigl and Adrian Currie introduce this range of methods through both practical advice and philosophical reflection. Across 27 chapters written by a wide cast of philosophers, the reader is introduced to various methods in the philosophy of science, discussions of their advantages and limitations, and provided with practical guidance on how to learn the relevant skills. Join us online or in person to celebrate the book and discuss the methods and methodology of the philosophy of science as they are, as they could be and as they should be.
Speakers: Hasok Chang, Kerry McKenzie (joining online), Sophie Veigl, Adrian Currie
