about
Philosophical work in the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science tends to be strongly integrated with the natural and social sciences and with mathematics. Faculty and student explore issues in general philosophy of science and meta-philosophy, as well as more specialized studies in five research groups:
History of Philosophy of Science
Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics
Philosophy of Biology and the Behavioral Sciences
Philosophy of Physics
Probability, Induction, and Formal Epistemology
