Event Description
The pragmatist tradition in philosophy has, from its beginnings, placed the conduct of inquiry at the center of its philosophical projects. The process of inquiry consists of actions, but it also aims to produce knowledge. Consequently, pragmatists’ treatments of inquiry exemplify the tradition’s reluctance to separate in a fundamental way the theoretical from the practical and the epistemic from the pragmatic. In this conference, we aim to bring together scholars drawing upon – and criticizing – this philosophical tradition, to shed light on scientific inquiry while incorporating recent insights into scientific practices and the contexts of scientific inquiry.
