CFP – Workshop on Scientific Imperialism

Helsinki, 15-17 April, 2015.

Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence in the Philosophy of the Social


The recent research and emerging debate on “scientific imperialism” (see e.g. International Studies in the Philosophy of Science, 3/2013) are putting the topic on the agenda of philosophy of science. One goal is to understand interdisciplinary relations emerging from the incursion of one scientific discipline into one or more other disciplines, such as when the conventions and procedures of one discipline or field are imposed on other fields, or more weakly when a scientific discipline seeks to explain phenomena that are traditionally considered proper of another discipline’s domain. The possibility of distinguishing imperialistic from non-imperialistic interactions between disciplines and research fields is among the issues to be addressed.


The workshop brings together philosophers of science and science studies scholars interested in issues of scientific imperialism and wishing to contribute to its conceptual clarification, empirical identification and examination, as well as its normative assessment. We welcome abstracts for papers that deal with scientific imperialism in general as well as with actual cases of imperialism that involve particular disciplines (such as economics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, physics, and more). Papers will be selected so as to ensure the representation of different disciplinary traditions and methodological approaches in the programme. An edited publication (special issue of a journal or a book) will be considered.


Keynote Speakers

Stephen Downes (University of Utah) “Is the Appeal to Evolution in Explanations of Human Behavior a Case of Scientific Imperialism?”

Steven Medema (University of Colorado, Denver) “Negotiating Economic Analysis of Law: Economists, Lawyers, and the Coase Theorem”

NOTA DESTE BLOGGER:

O que aqui nomeamos de "Nomenklatura científica", termo empregado por este blogger desde 1998, traduz literalmente o modus operandi do "Imperialismo científico" será considerado neste workshop em 2015.  Finalmente, após 16 anos denunciando esta nefasta "Inquisição sem fogueiras", a própria comunidade científica percebeu que há sim "forças estranhas" impedindo o debate e a discussão de ideias que podem promover o avanço da ciência. Os teóricos e proponentes da Teoria do Design Inteligente, nós sabemos o que é isso na pele!

O que é bom em ciência, é que a ciência é a busca pela verdade, e o cientista deve seguir as evidências aonde elas forem dar.
