HOPOS 2018: History of Philosophy of Science, Groningen (The Netherlands), July 2018

It is my great pleasure to announce that HOPOS 2018 will take place at the 
University of Groningen in the Netherlands in July 2018. The local 
organizers include Professor Martin Lenz, Dr Han Thomas Adriaenssen and Dr 
Andrea Sangiacomo of the History of Philosophy Department.

The University of Groningen is ranked among the best universities 
worldwide (e.g. 74th position in the 'World University Ranking 2015-2016' 
published by Elsevier; 75th position in the 'Academic Ranking of World 
Universities 2015' published by the by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University).

The Department of the History of Philosophy is the largest in the 
Netherlands and has considerable strengths in the history of philosophy of 
science. While its members cover all periods from ancient to modern and 
contemporary philosophy, there is a special focus on medieval and early 
modern studies, now united in the newly established Groningen Centre of 
Medieval and Early Modern Thought. http://www.rug.nl/filosofie/

Following a tradition inspired by John North, a distinguished historian of 
science at Groningen, the department has continued to attract scholars who 
work on HOPOS themes, such as Lodi Nauta, winner of the Spinoza Prize, and 
Detlev Pätzold. From 2016 and 2019, Han Thomas Adriaenssen will run a 
research project, financed by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific 
Research (NWO), on Aristotelianism and Science in Early Modern England; at 
the same time, Andrea Sangiacomo will run a NWO project on Occasionalism 
and seventeenth and eighteenth century science. Martin Lenz is currently 
preparing an application for a larger project (with three PhD students) on 
scientific principles (parsimony and natural teleology) from Aquinas to 
Newton.

On behalf of the local organizers, and the HOPOS Steering Committee, we 
look forward to your participation in HOPOS 2018.  With my best wishes, 
Helen Hattab
