What is scientific knowledge?
Is scientific knowledge different from other kinds of knowledge?
Who can have scientific knowledge? In what sense?
What is scientific testimony?
Is know-how reducible to know-that in the context of science?
What are plausible ways to naturalise epistemology?
Please submit a 500-word abstract for blind review via Easychair by 12 January 2024.
Call for Abstracts: 11th International Philosophy of Medicine Roundtable, 9-10 May 2024
Hosted online by the Durham-Johannesburg Centre for Philosophy of Epidemiology, Medicine, and Public Health
Abstracts of 250 words are invited for the 10th Roundtable. The format will be online, and submissions from those who might previously have been unable to travel to physical roundtables for whatever reason are therefore particularly encouraged. Speakers will have 45 minutes to speak. Any topic in the philosophy of medicine, epidemiology, public health, and allied fields is welcome, and will be considered on an equal basis, but we would be particularly interested to receive papers on AI and medicine or public health. Speakers will be invited to submit a paper to a special issue of Philosophy of Medicine after the conference.

2024 will mark the centennial of the birth of Paul K. Feyerabend and thirty years from his passing. Feyerabend was one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century, and his work helped pave the way for later developments in science and values, political philosophy of science, feminist and postcolonial science studies, the philosophy of scientific practice, and integrated history and philosophy of science. His masterwork, Against Method, was published nearly half a century ago, but we still have much to learn from reading Feyerabend’s works and carrying them forward to new problems and projects. This year’s Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology Conference will focus on the work of Paul K. Feyerabend and Feyerabendian themes in contemporary history and philosophy of science, science & technology studies, science policy, and other relevant areas.
