Vario us philosophers of the past - and many philosopher s of\n today - believe that there can be real progress in philosophy\n and that such progr ess is facilitated crucially by a close\n int eraction between philosophy and the\n science s. "Scientific Philosophy" maintains tha t\n philosophical theses and arguments should be just as clear and\n precise as scientific ones; philosophers ought to build theories\n and models much as scientists do; and the applica tion of\n mathematical methods as well as inp ut from empirical studies are\n often necessa ry in order to gain new insights into old\n p hilosophical questions and to progress to new and deeper\n ones. This workshop will address wha t Scientific Philosophy is\n all about, what it has in common with science and where it might\n diverge from it, what we can learn from its historical successes\n and failures, and, mos t importantly, how we should assess its\n fut ure prospects.\n
