Synopsis

Philosophy of Science by Young Researchers Vol. 1 contains a selection of papers presented at the First Conference of Young Researchers in Philosophy of Science, held in Córdoba in June 2019. The publication is the result of the joint work of the members of the research group “Modeling, Simulating, and Experimenting: An Epistemological Analysis from Scientific Practices” (funded by SECyT and based at the María Saleme de Burnichon Research Center, School of Philosophy, FFyH, UNC), in particular, students and graduates who have formed and run the organizing, evaluation, and editing committees throughout the year.

The selected works were evaluated by a student and a teacher, according to the specific topics addressed in each case. The aim of this decision is to build a horizontal and collaborative space between the different levels that make up our work teams. This edition aimed to promote philosophical discussion in the broad field of the philosophy of science, from and for young researchers, and responds to the desire to consolidate our philosophical community, strengthening local production by young researchers. Broadening the spectrum of discussion enriches us as a community and allows us to forge new dialogues between fields that are still not as close as they could be. We are confident in the academic and political power of this joint effort.

The book is part of the CIFFyH Collections, an initiative of the María Saleme de Burnichon Research Center (FFyH) in conjunction with the FFyH Publications Department, which seeks to strengthen the production and dissemination of the Center's research groups' work, encourage the participation of students, graduates, and teachers in the production and circulation of knowledge, and create institutional spaces that enable such circulation.
