Philosophy

Philosophy of Science research activities

 

Philosophers and scientists at the University of Guelph engage in research  that bridges disciplinary boundaries. Many of our faculty are trained in the sciences and carry out collaborative research with members of other departments across the university. Often there are related research and employment opportunities for grad students. Some current projects are described below. 

 

Philosophy of Science Graduate Studies

Our philosophy graduate students often receive training in the sciences when it is relevant to their research, and it is common for science faculty to advise on their committees.  Some philosophy graduate courses are co-taught by science faculty and students from both disciplines attend. Most importantly perhaps, there exists a tradition of interdisciplinary respect and curiosity at the University of Guelph, which has allowed these collaborations to emerge. 

Philosophy of Science Research Group

The University of Guelph stands out among Canadian universities as a place where philosophers and scientists engage one another in research and teaching.  Many of our philosophers are scientifically trained, and many of our scientists explore philosophical questions. These overlapping backgrounds and interests sustain a vibrant interdisciplinary culture.
