Ever since philosophers first started formulating theor ies of science \n those theories have been compared with (reconstructions of) episodes in \n the history of science. On this issue one f inds heated discussion in the 1960s and 70s, when some \n sought to turn philosophy into a te stable enterprise, with history taking \n t he place of scientific experiment. The purpose of this workshop is to bring this debate back to the table, \n assessing it in light of the fact that so many contemporary debates in the \n philosophy of science make implicit assumptions about how history of \n science can bear on philosophy of science.
