The 5th conference of the European Philosophy of Science Association in Düsseldorf Herausgegeben:Massimi, Michela; Romeijn, Jan-Willem; Schurz, Gerhard
This edited collection showcases some of the best recent research in the philosophy of science. It comprises of thematically arranged papers presented at the 5th conference of the European Philosophy of Science Association (EPSA15), covering a broad variety of topics within general philosophy of science, and philosophical issues pertaining to specific sciences. The collection will appeal to researchers with an interest in the philosophical underpinnings of their own discipline, and to philosophers who wish to study the latest work on the themes discussed.
