The Astro Society 2026: Astronomy@250 is a virtual conference celebrating 250 years of astronomy in the United States.

Aug 27, 2026: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Dr. Nancy Grace Roman -- A Free Public Astronomy@250 Event

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:01 -0400

The Astro Society is proud to launch Astronomy@250 with a free public celebration honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018) — astronomer, visionary, advocate, and one of the most consequential figures in the history of modern astronomy.

As we commemorate 250 years of American astronomy, we begin with Nancy Grace Roman because she exemplifies how a single visionary can change not only what we discover about the universe, but who has the opportunity to discover it. Roman’s story reminds us that the history of American astronomy is not simply a history of discoveries. It is also a history of the people whose vision, leadership, and perseverance made those discoveries possible.

Jan 15, 2027: Synthese Topical Collection: Against the Grain: Developing the Prospects of Non-Naturalistic Metaphysics of Science

Wed, 13 May 2026 12:10 -0400

Call for Papers

Synthese Topical Collection: Against the Grain: Developing the Prospects of Non-Naturalistic Metaphysics of Science

Guest Editors:
Raoni Arroyo (Federal University of Santa Catarina / CNPq, Brazil)
Bruno Borge (University of Buenos Aires / CONICET, Argentina),
Cristián Soto (University of Chile, Chile).

Topical Collection website: https://link.springer.com/collections/dgjhfehdbd

A key feature of recent developments in the metaphysics of science is that it has mostly, if not exclusively, been developed within a naturalistic framework. For our purposes, naturalism can broadly be conceived in any of the following ways: it can be understood as continuous with, constrained by, derived from, or useful to science.

What all these have in common is a deferential attitude towards science, which may roughly be spelled out as follows: when it comes to ontology, methodology, or epistemology, metaphysicians of science should best defer such issues to science (particularly physics). Most, if not all, more or less recent developments that “take science seriously” fall under the naturalistic umbrella. One possible consequence of this default naturalistic orientation is that it may unduly restrict the scope of legitimate metaphysical inquiry.

We understand non-naturalistic metaphysics of science as a style of metaphysical practice whose problems need not exclusively arise within or emanate from the sciences. More specifically, it is a kind of metaphysics that remains oriented toward science without treating science as the sole source of its problems, methods, or epistemic credentials. In this context, by “non-naturalistic” we do not mean metaphysics that ignores, or floats free from, science, but rather metaphysical inquiry that engages with science without being fully grounded in, derived from, or subordinated to it.

The aim of the Topical Collection is not merely to criticize naturalism, but to articulate positive alternatives: ways of doing metaphysics of science that engage with scientific practices, examine the metaphysical assumptions and frontiers of science, and remain epistemically relevant to our overall scientific outlook without adopting a deferential stance toward science.

By contrast, naturalistic metaphysics of science has science as the proper ontological, epistemic, and methodological ground of metaphysical inquiry. Non-naturalistic metaphysics of science asks and addresses metaphysical issues properly, which can rightfully be considered as yielding genuine epistemic contributions to our knowledge or understanding of how the world is or could be.

Appropriate Topics for Submission include, among others:

Critiques of naturalism in metaphysics of science
Scientific antirealism and its bearing on metaphysics
Non-realist approaches to metaphysics
Pragmatist approaches
Perspectival approaches
Pluralism in scientific ontology
Meinongian and non-standard ontologies
Fictionalism
Empiricism and its relation to the metaphysics of science
Descriptive (Strawsonian) metaphysics
Mutualist or co-constitutive accounts of the science–metaphysics relation
The role of a priori reasoning in the metaphysics of science
Framework-oriented approaches to the metaphysics of science
Feminist, social, or situated approaches to scientific knowledge and metaphysics

This list is not meant to be exhaustive.
