about the center
The Center for Philosophy of Science is devoted
to philosophy of science in all its forms. It was founded in 1960
by Adolf Grünbaum and its first activities included the Annual Lecture
Series and a supporting series of volumes. In the decades following,
Center activities were expanded to include a Visiting Fellows Program,
through which philosophers of science reside in the Center for a
term or academic year to talk philosophy and undertake their own
research; international agreements with Konstanz, Athens, Coruna
and Catania; and philsci-archive.pitt.edu, a preprint server. The
Center supports a full calendar of events, including weekly lunchtime
talks, monthly lectures, workshops and international conferences.
