Conjectures and Refutations

Conjectures and Refutations is a new seminar series for philosophers and scientists with a shared interest in the philosophy of science. The seminars cover topics in the philosophy of science broadly understood, with a special focus on general philosophy of science and those branches of science not already covered by the Choice Group and Sigma Club. Conjectures and Refutations is a venue for scientifically informed philosophy as well as philosophically informed science. Seminars take place regularly throughout term-time and are free and open to all.
