Dear Colleagues, I am arranging a session at the upcoming meeting of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Science to be held at the University of Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, June 3 to June 5, 1999. The topic of the session is 'Scientific Discovery'. Sample questions to be addressed include, "Are there definite criteria that determine when and by whom discoveries are made?", "Is there a logic of discovery?', "Is the notion of discovery a social construct?" Those interested in participating in such a session should send an abstract of a paper on this topic (by fax, e- or snail mail) to Robert G. Hudson Department of Philosophy Concordia University 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West Montreal, Quebec H3G 1M8 Canada Fax: (514) 848-4590 e-mail: [log in to unmask] The deadline for submissions is January 30, 1999. Abstracts must be no longer than 350 words, single-spaced, and papers should be no longer that 25 minutes (when delivered). Final decisions regarding the session are made by the CSHPS Program committee. Individuals will be notified of the Committee's decision by March 1999. Note that presenters are expected to become members of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Science. However, membership is not required in order to have your abstract considered for presentation. Graduate students, and individuals in other disciplines (especially the natural and social sciences) are encouraged to submit papers. More information about CSHPS can be found at www.uwo.ca/philosophy/cshpsinf.html The CSHPS meeting is held in conjunction with the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities. More information about the Congress can be found at www.hssfc.ca/cong/CongressInfoEng.html Please distribute this call to other lists, and apologies for cross-postings.
