The Philosophy of Contemporary and Future Science
We are a research group based in the Department of Philosophy at Lingnan University.
Emergent institutional and technological changes are revolutionizing contemporary science. How are these affecting scientific practice? In what ways should we change our philosophical ideas about science in response to these issues? And what do they imply for the future of science? Our project will help to answer these questions.
We are actively recruiting new collaborators including Postdoctoral Fellows!
