The History and Philosophy of Science is an academic field at the cutting edge of contemporary research pursued at major universities around the world. Drawing on different disciplines, it examines the philosophical and historical approaches to science in general, as well as to each of the particular research fields, including the humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, psychology and cognitive sciences, life and medical sciences, mathematics and logic, and the variety of new technologies. Our faculty members include some of the world experts in their field, while several of our professors lead or collaborate in international research projects. We study science as a complex historical, social and cultural phenomenon, and we probe and highlight the conceptual dimensions of scientific practice.
