The international "Perspectives on Explanation" workshop (May 18-19, 2017 Prague, Czech Republic), co-sponsored by the Centre, gathered philosophers of science working on different aspects of scientific explanation and provided an intensive, two-day exchange of cutting-edge ideas. A number of issues were discussed, such as explanation in mathematics, higher-level explanations, explanatory pluralism and the relation between explanation and understanding.
About Project
The aim of the project is to develop a formalization of epistemology analogous to Frege’s formalization of logic. The core of the project centres upon five theses setting out the path to a truly formal epistemology. These theses are based on the deeply-held belief that the current trend in the formalization of epistemology is insufficiently radical.
