AXIS INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IN HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE<BR><BR>Rethinking Practices and Cultures in the History of Science 2012–2013

Organisers : Cristina Cerami, Karine Chemla, Pascal Crozet and Koen Vermeir, (SPHERE).


A growing number of philosophers, philologists, sociologists, anthropologists and historians of science agree on the importance of studying not only scientific knowledge as such, but also scientific practices. However, approaches vary. Some scholars use the word practice in singular, others prefer practices, in plural. Do the two groups imply the same thing ? A critical examination of this and other questions would be useful – and this is exactly the objective of the seminar.


Since 2013, the seminar is related to the ERC Project SAW.
