The workshop ‘Inductive Logic and
Confirmation in Science’ will be held at the University of Kent campus in Paris
(France) on the 17th-18th October 2013 (ILCS
2013). The workshop is organized by Jon Williamson (Canterbury) and Juergen Landes (Canterbury).
The workshop is addressed to all researchers (early and not so early
career) in all disciplines with an interest in inductive logic and confirmation
in science. Ph.D. students are particularly invited to participate.
We are calling for extended abstracts (~ 1 page) to be sent to j.landes@kent.ac.uk by 30.04.2013. Authors will be notified in June. Authors of accepted abstracts will be
given the opportunity to present their ideas to all participants. The meeting
will have an informal character and thus it will be a good platform to get
feedback on current ideas which have not yet let to fully developed accounts.
Invited and confirmed speakers: Branden
Fitelson (Rutgers), Jan-Willem Romeijn (Groningen) and Pierre
Wagner (Paris).
The workshop is free and open to everyone with an interest in inductive
logic and confirmation in science. To register simply drop an email to the
organizers ( j.landes@kent.ac.uk) with your name and affiliation.
We are very grateful to the British Society for the Philosophy of Science, and the University of
Kent Centre for Reasoning for
providing financial support.
