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
LPS enjoys strong cooperative relations with UCI's Department of Philosophy; in particular, the two units jointly administer a single graduate program leading
to the Ph.D. in Philosophy. Learn more . . . •
