Edinburgh

Philosophy of Science

Leader: George Cleland - see Group Leaders Contact Details.
Timing: Weekly, Tuesdays, 11:00am to 12 noon.
Venue: "The Zoom Cafe" (virtual meetings via Zoom).
Activity: We meet to study and discuss a wide range of issues in the overlap of Philosophy and Science - both the Philosophy of Science and philosophical issues arising in and from science. We currently meet weekly by Zoom – we study a source in advance (e.g. book chapter, article, TED talk, radio programme,…), and then discuss at our meetings.
