The Boston University Center for Philosophy and History of Science began as an informal interuniversity collaboration of colleagues in philosophy, the natural and social sciences, history, psychology, religious studies, and the arts to stimulate exchange concerning all aspects of the philosophy and history of science, mathematics, and logic. The Center seeks to examine, in the broadest humanistic and social context, the factors that govern the theory and practice of science. The Colloquium, reflecting the Center’s multifaceted agenda, is an eclectic program that attempts to foster interdisciplinary and international scholarly dialogue concerning the intellectual and social infrastructure of science and mathematics from all historical periods and from diverse cultures. All lectures are open to the public. Selected proceedings of the Colloquium appear in Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science (Kluwer Academic Publishers; a list is available from the Center). In addition, the Center sponsors postgraduate research fellows, who have come from thirty-five countries. Alfred I. Tauber, Director; Peter Bokulich, Associate Director; Robert S. Cohen, Director Emeritus.
