Bergen Philosophy of Science Workshop

Institutt for filosofi og førstesemesterstudier arrangerer sin årlige workshop i vitenskapsfilosofi: "Philosophy of science goes through exciting times these days. The intention of this workshop is to make available to us the best work of some of the best philosophers interested in conceptual issues pertaining to the natural and social sciences, as well as mathematics. While technicalities may sometimes be unavoidable, the speakers will try to keep the presentations at an accessible level, such that everyone should feel welcome to attend."
