Project AbstractSES Proposal 0135682Scientific Pluralism, A Workshop to be held at the University of Minnesota Oct. 10-13, 2002 C. K. Waters, University of MinnesotaThis project supports a small interdisciplinary workshop entitled "Scientific Pluralism" at the University of Minnesota, October 10 - 13, 2002. The Principal Investigators are bringing together leading philosophers of science and scientists who have independently advanced views consistent with the idea that some natural phenomena cannot be fully explained by a single theory or fully investigated using a single approach. The aim of the workshop is to develop an understanding of the various forms of pluralism being advanced and to explore their philosophical implications. The goal is to determine whether a consistent philosophical account of scientific pluralism can be developed that goes beyond the mere rejection of the unity of science doctrine. This workshop brings together philosophers who have advanced pluralist solutions to puzzles encountered in their analysis of science with practicing scientists. The philosophers and scientists participating in the meeting represent a broad range of sciences including physics and mathematics, biology, and social and behavioral science. Philosophical participants are focusing their research and workshop presentations on detailed case studies that warrant pluralist interpretations. Workshop discussion includes scientists' commentaries on the detailed case studies and general discussions on the broad philosophical implications of the presented works. The Principal Investigators plan to publish results of the workshop in a volume of "Minnesota Studies in Philosophy of Science."

项目摘要SES Proposal 0135682科学多元化研讨会将于2002年10月10日至13日在明尼苏达大学C·K·沃特斯举行。该项目支持明尼苏达大学于2002年10月10日至13日在明尼苏达大学举办一个名为“科学多元化”的小型跨学科研讨会。首席研究人员将主要的科学哲学家和科学家聚集在一起，他们独立地提出了与以下观点一致的观点：一些自然现象不能用单一的理论完全解释，也不能用单一的方法进行充分的调查。讲习班的目的是加深对正在提出的各种形式的多元化的理解，并探讨其哲学影响。其目标是确定是否可以发展出一种一致的哲学解释来解释科学的多元性，而不仅仅是拒绝科学学说的统一性。这个研讨会汇集了哲学家，他们对科学分析中遇到的难题提出了先进的多元解决方案，并与实践科学家一起。参加会议的哲学家和科学家代表了广泛的科学领域，包括物理和数学、生物学以及社会和行为科学。哲学参与者将他们的研究和研讨会报告集中在需要多元解释的详细案例研究上。研讨会讨论包括科学家对详细案例研究的评论，以及对所提交作品的广泛哲学含义的一般性讨论。首席调查人员计划将研讨会的结果发表在《明尼苏达州科学哲学研究》一卷上。
