Presentation and History
Research Activities
IHPST is presently composed of five research teams:
Each researcher is principally associated with one of the above research teams. These research teams do not, however, operate independently from one another. Collaborations and crosscutting interactions are encouraged.
Ongoing Projects
Recent and current research projects hosted at the IHPST include:
Events
At IHPST, each research team has its own research seminar taking place once a month; moreover, a common seminar in general philosophy of science brings together all the teams once a month. There is also a specific seminar and reading group organized for and by PhD students (twice a month). Finally, IHPST is regularly involved in the organization of international schools (e.g., New perspectives in philosophy of biology, Cargèse, 2016, org: Merlin & Mossio), as well as international workshops and meetings (recent events include):
Studying at IHPST
The option "Logic and philosophy of science (LOPHISC)" of the master’s program in philosophy at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne offers a rich program covering the following three domains: philosophy of science (general philosophy and history of science, history and philosophy of biology, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy and history of physics, and philosophy of cognitive science); logic and epistemology (including philosophy of language and philosophy of logic). Each student chooses a curriculum adapted to her background and interests. A member of the faculty supervises the research of each student. The program prepares for the second year of the master’s program and for the PhD in philosophy, but also for a variety of professions at the interface between philosophy, the sciences and technology. During their studies in the master’s program LOPHISC, students are welcome to participate in all research activities of the affiliated research teams at the IHPST.
