CfA Summer School The Aim and Structure of Cosmological Theory (Lugano, Switzerland)
by events.isfi＠usi.ch
The Summer School The Aim and Structure of Cosmological Theory will take place at USI, Lugano (Switzerland) from 23 to 27 June 2025 and will be taught by Chris Smeenk (Western Ontario) and Jim Weatherall (UC Irvine).
Deadline for applications: February 15, 2025
A number of challenging questions arise in contemporary cosmology, and philosophers can contribute constructively to answering them. In what sense is cosmology a “special case,” in terms of its aims, the nature of cosmological theories, or the ability to establish theories empirically? What, if anything, constrains theorizing about the early universe or regions of space and time that are beyond our observational ken? These and other questions will be tackled at the summer school, whose organizing theme is the forthcoming book by Smeenk & Weatherall The Aim and Structure of Cosmological Theory.
How to apply: Application is open to graduate students and early career researchers. Please send a copy of your CV, a one-page motivation letter and a reference letter from a supervisor or colleague to summerschool.isfi(a)usi.ch<mailto:summerschool.isfi@usi.ch>.
Accepted participants will have the possibility to send a short abstract for consideration to present some of their research at the summer school.
