Please read below for a more detailed description of our conference:

The question of the relationship between philosophy and science is as old
as the respective practices themselves. In recent debates, however, it may
seem as if both have grown out of sync, talking past each other, often with
little respect for each other’s realm and method, their arguments and
positions. Our conference focuses on three main themes to address this gap:

*I. HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS*

We will examine *the relationship between philosophy and (the) science(s)*,
their emergence, differing methods, and potential decline, *across
different historical periods*, including, but not limited, to the *Western
canon* from ancient to contemporary philosophy.

Participants who are interested in *non-Western traditions* (such as
Islamicate or Buddhist philosophy) may submit a paper that does not
correspond to the periods mentioned above.


*II. PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCIENCES*


In this section, we address key thematic areas in *contemporary philosophy
of scientific fields*, e.g. philosophy of biology, philosophy of physics,
philosophy of the social sciences. These contributions should focus on the
relationship between philosophy and one defined scientific field, and/or on
the different methodologies and characteristics of the philosophy of the
hard sciences vs the philosophy of the soft sciences.


*III. META-REFLECTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE*


This section will explore the respective *roles, boundaries, and evolving
relationship between philosophy and science*, as well as emerging
intersections between them.



Organisers: Johannes Baer, Anni Bukowski, Seung Hoon Hahm, Amir Latifi,
