Abstract

This fourth volume of the Programme “The Philosophy of Science in a European Perspective” deals with new challenges in this field. In this regard, it seeks to broaden the scope of the philosophy of science in two directions. On the one hand, this book looks for issues in scientific disciplines that have received little attention so far in the mainstream philosophy of science (e.g., design sciences, communication sciences or forensic science). On the other, it addresses new topics in well-established disciplines, seeking novelty from different angles of the philosophical research. To some extent, this volume tries to embrace the somehow “neglected sciences” as well as the new trends in philosophy of science.
