HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY

A LONG HISTORY, A BRILLIANT PRESENT, AND AN EXCITING FUTURE

Recently, HPS was promoted from a Unit to School. This change supports and recognises the achievements of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Sydney from 1945 to now and  into the future.
 To celebrate this, we have invited three speakers who will address the past, the present, and the future of HPS.
 We will start with recognising the outstanding success of the seminal text What is this Thing Called Science? by Alan Chalmers. Now well into its fourth decade, his book has become a classic the world over translated in nineteen languages.
