Hello! I’m Saransh, a PhD scholar in philosophy of science in IISER Bhopal under the guidance of Prof. Varun Bhatta. Me and some of my colleagues here want to start a bi-weekly graduate level reading group in philosophy of science.
If you are interested, please send me an Email at saransh25@iiserb.ac.in, and I will add you to an Email chain of other interested people. We can have an initial meeting where we collectively decide what kind of books/articles we would like to discuss, how we would host the meeting group, what other activities we can do, and so on.
Some of my ideas on how we could start are:
A) Finishing a book chapter by chapter, for instance:
- Sarukkai, Sundar. 2012. What Is Science? First edition. With National Book Trust. Popular Readers’ Series. National Book Trust, India.
or
- Godfrey-Smith, Peter. 2003. Theory and Reality. Science & Its Conceptual Foundations. University of Chicago Press.
B) Reading SEP entries on philosophy of science.
C) Reading books/articles on philosophical methods and methodology.
D) Reading recently published articles in philosophy of science journals.
E) Someone introducing a paper from their subdiscipline in philosophy of science.
Needless to say, we would be glad to get your input on the kinds of readings we can collectively pick up as well!
Please write back to me regarding any other questions at saransh25@iiserb.ac.in
Thank you!
Regards
Saransh
