Workshop on Implications of Cognitive Science for Philosophyof Science, Minneapolis, October 26-29, 1989

吉尔教授组织了一次关于认知科学对科学哲学研究的影响的研讨会。研讨会将由明尼苏达大学科学哲学中心主办。会议定于1989年10月26日至29日举行。研讨会背后的想法是，认知科学已经达到了足够成熟的状态，因此它们现在可以为正在发展科学作为人类活动的一般理论的科学哲学家提供宝贵的资源。人们希望，认知科学可能会扮演形式逻辑为逻辑经验主义或科学史为科学哲学中的历史学派所扮演的那种角色。这一发展可能允许科学哲学作为一个整体最终超越自20世纪60年代中期以来一直是该领域特征的“逻辑”和“历史”方法之间的分歧。

Professor Giere has organized a workshop on the implications of the cognitive sciences for research in the philosophy of science. The Workshop is to be held under the sponsorship of the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Minnesota. It is scheduled to take place October 26-29, 1989. The idea behind the workshop is that the cognitive sciences have reached a sufficient state of maturity so that they can now provide a valuable resource for philosophers of science who are developing general theories of science as a human activity. The hope is that the cognitive sciences might come to play the sort of role that formal logic played for Logical Empiricism or that history of science played for the historical school within the philosophy of science. This development might permit the philosophy of science as a whole finally to move beyond the division between "logical" and "historical" approaches that has characterized the field since the middle 1960s.
