Boston Colloquium for Philosophy of Science

2005–2006

 

The Robert S. Cohen Forum:
Contemporary Issues in Science Studies
(Co-sponsored by the Humanities Foundation,
Boston University)

Values, Ethics, and Medical Science:
The New medical school curriculum

The Forum, an annual lecture series, explores selected controversies in philosophy, history, and sociology of science that provide wide resonances in other academic disciplines. In an intellectual context accessible to the nonspecialist, a single theme is discussed with the aim of establishing the foundations, conceptual boundaries, and interdisciplinary implications of the given topic. This series is named in honor of Professor Robert S. Cohen, who co-founded with Professor Marx Wartofsky the Boston Colloquium and served as its director for more than thirty years.
