Abstract
An overview of the German philosophy of science community is given
for the years 1992 to 2012, based on a survey, at which 159 philosophers
of science in Germany participated. To this end, the institutional background of the German philosophy of science community is examined in
terms of journals, centers, and associations. Furthermore, a qualitative description and a quantitative analysis of our survey results are presented.
Quantitative estimates are given for: (a) academic positions, (b) research
foci, (c) philosophers’ of science most important publications, and (d)
externally funded projects, where for (c) all survey participants had indicated their five most important publications in philosophy of science.
In addition, the survey results for (a)–(c) are also qualitatively described,
as they are interesting in their own right. With respect to (a), we estimated the gender distribution among academic positions. Concerning (c),
we quantified philosophers’ of science preference for (i) journals and publishers, (ii) publication format, (iii) language, and (iv) coauthorship for
their most important publications. With regard to research projects, we
determined their (i) prevalence, (ii) length, and (iii) trend (an increase
in number?) and well as their most frequent (iv) research foci and (v)
funding organizations. We also distinguished between German-based and
non-German-based journals, publishers, and funding institutions, making
it thereby possible to evaluate the involvement of the German philosophy
of science community in the international research landscape. Finally, we
discuss some implications of our findings.

Hans Reichenbach, Rudolf Carnap, Carl Gustav Hempel, Wolfgang Stegmüller,
and Paul Lorenzen. In contrast, much less is known about philosophy of science
in Germany of the late 20th and the early 21st century.
It is the aim of this paper to fill that gap. To this end, an overview of the
German philosophy of science community is given, starting from the year 1992,
some time after the German reunification.1 2
This paper gives an overview of the German philosophy of science community
in terms of its institutional framework and by focusing on its individual members and their research. As main source of information serves a survey that we
conducted in 2012 and at which 159 philosophers of science (PoS) in Germany
participated.
For the overview, we employed three methods. Besides (i) web-based research, (ii) a qualitative description and (iii) a quantitative analysis of the survey results are given. The survey concerned participants’ (a) academic positions
and (b) their involvement in externally funded projects in addition to participants’ (c) research foci and (d) most important publications in philosophy of
science.
Table 1 overviews our research questions. A qualitative description and a
quantitative analysis are given with regard to academic positions (Question 1),
research foci (Question 2), and PoS’ most important publications (Question 3)
in philosophy of science as elicited by the survey. For externally funded research
projects only the results of the quantitative analysis are described (Question 4).
Note that the qualitative description of the survey results pertaining to Question 1–3 are not available elsewhere.
Web-based research was used for the list of official centers (Question 5a),
societies and associations (Question 5c), and journals with a focus on philosophy
of science (Question 5d) . In addition, we investigated which institutions were
centers in the sense of having the largest number of philosophers of science, as
determined by the survey (Question 5b).
The paper proceeds as follows. Sect. 2 overviews the material and the procedure used in the survey. Then, Sect. 3–6 address the research questions summarized in Table 1. Finally, Sect. 7 highlights some findings and describes some
conclusions that these findings seem support.

The Survey
Procedure. The survey was based on a questionnaire, which was distributed
electronically from June to November 2012. A call for participation, including
the questionnaire, was sent twice via the newsletter of the German-based Society
1 An exception is Lyre (2008a) who gives estimates of the number of philosophy of science
professorships between 1978 and 2004 (see also Sect. 3.1). However, apart from this, Lyre
(2008a) exclusively reports about a workshop on philosophy of science in Germany.
2 For recent papers on national philosophy of science communities see, for example, Stadler
(2012) and Vihalemm and Müürsepp (2007). Earlier such papers are, for example: Schurz and
Dorn (1993, 1994), Niiniluoto (1993), Uljaki (1994), Barrotta (1998), and Rouse (1998).

for Analytic Philosophy (“Gesellschaft für Analytische Philosophie”, GAP, see
Sect. 6.2) and once via the Philos-L list.
In addition, we compiled a list of potential PoS – broadly construed – and
sent them a call for participation. As starting point served a number of e-mail
addresses of the German-based Society for Philosophy of Science (“Gesellschaft
für Wissenschaftsphilosophie”, GWP, see Sect. 6.2). Further persons were added
that satisfied one of two criteria: (a) having a research focus that falls within
philosophy of science, as described by that person’s departmental homepage; (b)
being named by a participant of the survey as a philosopher of science in that
person’s vicinity (see below). For (a), all home pages of philosophy departments
were searched as summarized by the Department of Philosophy at Bielefeld
University (2012).
Material. The questionnaire and all other material were in German. An
English translation was used at a later stage for PoS who did not speak German.
The questionnaire asked participants for: (1) their name and current position, including its type and the name of the professorship (if applicable); (2)
foci of research in philosophy of science (maximally three), ranked in order of
importance; (3) a list of past positions including the name of the department,
the type of position, the name of the professorship (if applicable), and its beginning and end in terms of years; (4) a list of their publications as well as
their five most important publications in philosophy of science, ranked according to importance; (5) a list of externally funded projects they were a part of,
including the name of the project, principal investigators/applicants, superordinate projects (if applicable), funding sources, and the beginning and end of
the project in terms of years; (6) other PoS in participants’ vicinity, including
emeriti. Points (2)–(5) explicitly referred to the years 1992 to 2012.
Exclusion Criteria. No content-based exclusion criteria for philosophy of
science were used. Instead, we relied on participants’ judgment concerning this
matter. This holds also for participants’ positions, research projects, publications, and research foci. As a consequence, this overview understands philosophy
of science in a broad sense. Furthermore, participants were effectively required
to have philosophy of science as only one of their research foci rather than their
main research focus.
Initially, two formal exclusion criteria were applied. The first criterion required that each participant had indicated at least one publication. We dropped
this criterion later, as only one person would thus have been excluded. The second criterion pertained to qualifying as a PoS in Germany. To be included in
the data analysis all persons had to be associated with a German institution
(e.g., university, research center) at some point of time (e.g., having a position,
being a student). Due to this, one person was excluded, resulting in 159 persons.

The Quantitative Analysis
This section concerns the quantitative results of the survey and their discussion.
Sect. 3.1 focuses on PoS’ academic positions and their gender distribution. Then,
4
Sect. 3.2 and 3.3 give an overview of the PoS’ research foci and their most
important publications in philosophy of science, respectively. Finally, Sect. 3.4
examines PoS’ involvement in externally funded projects. See Table 1 for a
detailed overview.
3.1
Participants
DR
AF

This section concerns the percentages of positions and their gender distribution
among PoS in Germany. In addition, we address the representativeness of the
sample of participants and its completeness.
Firstly, let us focus on the distributions of positions. To this end, we distinguish between: (1) predocs (without doctorate), (2) postdocs (with doctorate),
(3) PDs (“Privatdozenten”, private lecturers, with habilitation), (4) apl. professors (“außerplanmäßige Professoren”, non-regular professors), (5) junior professors, (6) emeriti,3 (7) professors (C3, C4, W2, or W3 positions), and (8) other.4
Each person was required to fall in one such category. For that reason we did not
count visiting and interim professorships, which are temporary in nature. For
non-professors, we always chose the position with the highest academic degree
(including habilitation). In all cases, the current position as of the year 2012
was used.
Fig. 1(a) summarizes the frequency distribution of positions. Most frequent
were professors, followed by postdocs and emeriti. In fact, more than 60% of
the participants were professors in the broad sense, that is professors of sorts
(4)–(7).
Fig. 1(a) seems to suggest that predocs are underrepresented and to a lesser
degree postdocs and PDs. However, we were not able to confirm this impression
based on the list of potential PoS described in Sect. 2. Concerning predocs,
postdocs, and PDs there was much less information available on the home pages
of philosophy departments compared to, for example, professors.
In contrast, professors and emeriti did not seem to be underrepresented.
Compared to the estimate of twenty-eight to thirty-five philosophy of science
professorships for the years 1992 to 2006 by Lyre (2008a, p. 397), the number
of professors in our survey suggests that almost all professors and emeriti in
Germany took part in the survey.
This conclusion is supported by the fact that of the list of potential PoS
only ten professors and emeriti did not respond to our inquiries. All others
either participated or told us that they did not consider themselves PoS.
In sum, these results suggest that the survey data allows for reliable inferences about the philosophy of science community in Germany. However, at the
same time more weight to publications, foci of research, etc. of persons with a
professorship is given.
Let us now describe the gender distribution among PoS’ positions. Of the
professors in the narrow sense 10.9% were female. Furthermore, none of the apl.

professors and emeriti were female. In contrast, 55.6% of the junior professors
were female as opposed to 7.1% of the PDs, 14.7% of the postdocs, and none of
the predocs.
These results indicate that women are underrepresented in the German philosophy of science community. Moreover, one might be inclined to regard the
high percentage of female junior professors as progress in terms of gender ratio balance. However, the large percentage of female junior professors was not
backed up by a sufficiently high percentage of female predocs, postdocs, and
PDs.
Research Foci
DR
This section gives an overview of PoS’ research foci. To this end, we distinguished
between research areas (e.g., philosophy of physics) and research topics (e.g.,
causality). We also summarize the most frequent official foci of research among
professors in a broad sense (professors of sorts (4)–(7)), as determined by the
name of the professorship.
An initial classification of participants’ research areas and topics was developed by one of the present authors and modified by a second author. Then, both
authors categorized participants’ research foci independently and discussed and
resolved their disagreements about their categorizations. In all cases, multiple
categories were allowed.
Fig. 2(a) and (b) summarize the most frequently chosen research areas among
survey participants, respectively. In terms of research areas, philosophy of the
natural sciences was way more popular than philosophy of the humanities and
the social sciences. In fact, philosophy of physics alone scored more than twice
as many votes as the whole area of philosophy of the humanities and social
sciences combined.
The exceptionally high number of votes for general philosophy of science is
partly due to the fact that often specific research topics, such as causality were
given, without a qualification by research area. In these cases, that person’s
research focus was categorized as general philosophy of science.
We shall now address the areas of specialization among professors in the
broad sense, that is of sorts (4)–(6). To this end, we classified professorships
according to the name of the professorship. Such an approach is viable, since in
Germany professorial titles encode the area of specialization of the professor.
One of the present authors rated the professorships accordingly and the
categorizations were double-checked by a second author. No disagreement was
found. Overall 115 categorizations of professorships resulted, for which multiple
categories were allowed. In fifteen cases two categories applied, and one professorship qualified for three categories.
Fig. 1(b) summarizes the most frequent areas of specializations of professorships. Although professorships with an explicit focus on philosophy of science
were most frequent, a range of professors with other areas of specialization
participated, including specializations such as practical philosophy/ethics and
philosophy of technology.

Publications
DR
Let us now address PoS’ most important publications as elicited by the survey.
The publications were required to be (1) authored or edited, (2) submitted or
published between 1992 and 2012, and (3) published in some form. For (3),
the manuscript had to be (i) published by a publishing house or journal, (ii)
in press, (iii) available online, or, in the case of theses, (iv) associated with an
institution.
By (1) and (3) one translation and three manuscripts were excluded, respectively. Moreover, although the survey asked explicitly for publications between
1992 and 2012, twenty-two publications were prior to 1992. To avoid excluding
too many publications from the data analysis, we decided to exclude only the
oldest publication, which was from the 60s. The remaining publications before
1992 were all from 1977 or later. See Sect. 5 for the complete list of publications
that entered the quantitative analysis.
The same edition and journal paper was referred to twice in four and two
cases, respectively. We included all duplicates in the data analysis, since we
were interested where philosophers publish their most important work. To this
end, duplicates matter as well, since both of these authors or editors chose that
journal or publisher over others.
Table 2 describes the types of publications used for the data analysis. Note
that proceeding contributions were subsumed under book contributions. Furthermore, four manuscripts were available via archives and one manuscript was

published on a departmental homepage, all of which were categorized as journal
papers. In addition, three unpublished habilitation theses, one unpublished PhD
thesis, and one university-based website were listed, all of which were categorized
as monographs.
Table 2 summarizes the average number of publication types (e.g., bookbased) per person and their standard deviation as well as the percentage of
publication types for the total pool of publications. In addition, Fig. 3 displays
the distribution of publication types for the total sample of publications. PoS
had indicated 101 different journals and 124 different publishers, not including
archive publications and publications on departmental homepages or such.
The results indicate that PoS in Germany published their most important
research primarily in journals, followed by book contributions and monographs.
Overall, however, book-based publications had a slight upper hand with roughly
60%. The percentage of journal-based publications seems high, since in philosophy book-based publications, especially monographs, are traditionally preferred.
In addition, of all publications 92% were authored in contrast to 7.9% editorships.
The average number of publications per publication type and their standard deviation suggests that participants used a blend of different publication
formats, by including journal papers, book contributions, and monographs. On
the other hand, for these publication types the standard deviation was high.
This indicates that this pattern varied strongly.
Let us now determine which journals and publishers were most frequently
chosen. When a manuscripts had been published by an archive or on a departmental website, the archive or the respective institution was coded as a
“journal”. When the publication was a thesis or a department-based website,
the corresponding university was taken as the publisher.
With respect to book-based publications the following complication arose.
Some publishers own other publishers: (a) C. H. Beck owns Nomos; (b) Elsevier
owns North Holland; (c) De Gruyter owns Akademie and Ontos; (d) Springer
owns Birkhäuser, Leske & Budrich, and Physica. When a publisher owned another publisher, the publications of the owned publisher were counted as publications of the owning publisher. The only exception were cases, in which the
owned publisher was among the most frequently chosen ones, as described in
Fig. 4–6. However, the only such case was Ontos.
Fig. 4(a) and (b) summarize the most frequently chosen journals and publishers among journal-based and book-based publications, respectively.
PoS’ preference for philosophy of physics is also reflected by their choice
of journals (see Sect. 3.2). The journal Studies in History and Philosophy of
Science Part B: Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics was the
only journal among the most frequently chosen ones, that focuses on special
philosophy of science (i.e., philosophy of biology, philosophy of chemistry, etc.).
Among book-based publications, De Gruyter came out as most popular publisher with 12.8%, when one took into account that Ontos is a part of De Gruyter.
In addition, of all book-based publications, Springer, Mentis, Ontos, and De
Gruyter made up roughly 41.6%.

Let us now inquire how prevalent single-authored publications are in contrast
to coauthored publications. Of the 665 authored publications, 87.7% (n=583)
were single-authored, as opposed to 12.3% (n=82) coauthored papers. These
results indicate that PoS in Germany prefer to publish most of their most important results individually, in contrast to other disciplines.
We also addressed the publication language of the authored publications. To
this end, we distinguished between (i) German, (ii) English, and (iii) other. In
case a publication was available in more than one language, the English version
was chosen. A German version was used when a German but no English version
existed.
Of the authored publications 54.7% were in English (n=364) and 44.2% in
German (n=294). The remaining 1.1% (n=7) were Spanish, Italian, Polish, and
Bulgarian. Note that also for German language publications English language
abstracts are often available, since this is often required by journals and publishers.
Let us focus on the percentage to which PoS in Germany prefer “local”,
that is German-based, journals and publishers to those that are located outside
Germany. Note that many German-based journals and publishers are clearly
international. On the other hand, there exist also journals and publishers that
are non-German-based but national with respect to other nations.
A publisher was categorized as German-based if its operative center was in
Germany. A journal counted as German-based if its chief editor was located in
Germany. In case the journal did not have a chief editor, the majority of members
of the editorial board were required to be German-based. The information for
the categorization was obtained by web-based research.
Table 2 describes the frequency distribution for German-based and nonGerman-based publication types. Table 2 also specifies for each publication type
the percentages of German-based and non-German-based publications.
For PoS’ journal-based and book-based publications, the percentages of
German-based and non-German-based publications differed. For journal publications non-German-based journals were preferred, whereas for monographs
PoS chose German-based publishers rather than non-German-based publishers.
In addition, among German-based publications, the percentage of most publications types amounted to roughly 65%, except for monographs and to a lesser
degree book contributions.5 Among German-based publications clearly more
monographs were chosen and somewhat more book contributions.
Let us now summarize the results for journal-based and book-based publications separately for German-based and non-German-based publications.
Fig. 5(a) and (b) describe the percentages of the most popular German-based
and non-German-based journals, respectively. Of all German-based journals, the

roughly 33%. Furthermore, of the 101 different journals chosen by PoS, 35 were
German-based whereas 66 were non-German-based.
Fig. 6(a) and (b) overview the percentages of publishers for German-based
and non-German-based publications in a book format, respectively. For bookbased publications, the results closely resemble the pattern for the overall sample
of book-based publications. This is to be expected, since in the overall sample the
six most popular publishers were German-based. Moreover, in total 80 Germanbased publishers had been indicated by PoS in contrast to 44 non-German-based
publishers.
Concerning non-German-based publications in a book format note the following. The number of votes for Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford (CSLI) was largely due to the five Stanford Encyclopedia of
Philosophy entries, which is published by the CSLI.
Research Projects
DR
This section overviews externally funded research projects in philosophy of science. To this end, the following types of externally funded research projects were
distinguished: (1) individual research projects, (2) conference/workshop support,
(3) financed research semesters, and (4) larger units, such as research units
(“Forschergruppen”, FORs), research training groups (“Graduiertenkollegien”),
or collaborative research centers (“Sonderforschungsbereiche”, SFBs).
The quantitative analysis in this section is based on the number of individual
projects rather than their financial volume. Henceforth, we refer to this type of
projects simply as projects. In case a sub-project was reported to be a part of
a larger unit and the sub-project was comparable to an individual project, the
sub-project was included. If no such sub-project was listed for a larger unit, the
larger unit was admitted and received a vote equal to a single sub-project.
Let us now address the prevalence of PoS’ involvement with externally
funded projects. To this end, multiple references of the same project were allowed, as for example a professor and that professor’s collaborator referring to
the same project.
Of the 261 projects 197 were individual projects, thirteen funded conferences/workshops, and seven financed research semesters. In addition a number
of larger units was reported, such as research units and collaborate research centers, for which typically three or less sub-projects were indicated. The research
unit FOR 1063 ‘Causation, Laws, Dispositions, and Explanation at the Interface
of Science and Metaphysics’ was exceptional, since ten of its sub-projects were
reported.
In general, projects were reported by principal investigators and applicants
(n=198) rather than by other associated persons (n=64). This supports our
hypothesis that non-professorial philosophers were underrepresented, since often
researchers apply for externally funded projects in order to secure funding for
positions of non-professorial collaborators.
We also determined to which degree individual PoS were involved in externally funded projects. Per participant 1.64 projects were found, with a high

variability (SD=2.04). Of the 159 participants 102 reported an involvement in
externally funded projects with a focus on philosophy of science. Eight participants had indicated five or more projects with Martin Carrier reporting most
projects (n=16).
Let us now focus on the length of the individual projects. The average length
of the research projects was 3.46 years, again with a high degree of variability
(SD=4.05 years).6
On the other hand, eleven projects lasted more than eight years. These
projects were mainly research training groups, encyclopedia projects, and editions of the collected work of individual philosophers and scientists. Jürgen Mittelstraß reported the longest project for the edition of the Encyclopedia Philosophy and Philosophy of Science (“Enzyklopädie Philosophie und Wissenschaftstheorie”). It amounted to forty-six years.
We also inquired whether the number of projects increased in recent years.
To this end, the average year was calculated as well as the standard deviation,
based on the beginning and end of the project.
The average year of all projects was 2006 and the standard deviation was
5.6 years. This result suggests that the majority of projects in philosophy of
science took place after the year 2000. Although participants might have tended
to report more recent projects, the finding is too strong to be fully accounted
for by this preference. Rather, this phenomenon seems to be largely due to
overall increase of short-term and project-based positions in the humanities
and the sciences in Germany in recent years. On the other hand, the number
of permanent positions did not seem to have increased, as determined by a
qualitative inspection of PoS’ positions as described in Sect. 4.
Let us now explore the research areas in which the projects fell as well as
the funding organizations of the projects. For this purpose, we took as basis the
total number of non-duplicate research projects. To this end, we also included
financed research semesters, funded conferences, and workshops, resulting in 217
projects.
To determine the most frequent areas of research of the projects, two of the
present authors rated the projects independently and both authors discussed
and resolved their disagreement. In all cases multiple categories were allowed.
Fig. 7(a) describes the most frequent areas of research of projects. Interestingly, the foci of projects differ from PoS’ most frequent research areas in
Fig. 2(a). This might be due to the following facts. Firstly, research in some
areas (e.g., philosophy of physics) might be done by persons who are directly
associated with universities and professorships rather than by positions which
are based on externally funded projects.
Secondly, philosophy of science seems to profit from projects with different
but related foci, such as formal projects, insofar as philosophers associated with
6 We give here only a rough estimate of the length of the research projects, since the
beginning and the end of the projects was elicited only in terms of years. In case no end date
was given – since it was still on-going as of the year 2012 – we used the year 2013 as the
default value.

those other projects also have a research focus that falls within philosophy of
science.
Let us now focus on the funding institutions of the externally funded research
projects. For several of the 217 projects more than one funding source was
named, resulting in a total of 241 references to funding organizations. In twentyone cases a project had two funding organization and in four cases there were
more than two.
Fig. 7(b) describes the percentages of funding organizations for the total
number of references to funding organizations. The large percentage of the German Research Foundation (DFG) was not unexpected. In contrast, the large
percentage of the Swiss National Science Foundation seems remarkable.
Finally, we investigated to which degree the funding of projects was based
on institutions outside of Germany. One of the present authors categorized all
funding institutions according to the the following categories: (1) nation-specific
funding institution outside Germany (e.g., the Swiss National Science Foundation), (2) international or local non-German-based funding institution (e.g.,
Center for Philosophy of Science, Pittsburgh; Sidney M. Edelstein Foundation),
(3) binational funding institution (e.g., the German-Israeli Foundation), and (4)
Europe-wide funding schema (e.g., the European Science Foundation).
Of the funding organizations 15.4% were national albeit non-German-based.
Furthermore, 2.9% were a part of a Europe-wide research schema. A further 6.6%
was either funded by local non-German-based institutions or involved binational
funding. We also calculated the total number of projects that involved funding
organization outside Germany. Altogether 24.0% qualified as such.
This section concerns academic positions of PoS in Germany from 1992 to 2012
as well as their research foci, as described by the survey. The academic positions
are listed alphabetically according to (i) city, (ii) name of the institution, and
(iii) department or faculty (if applicable).
For each department or faculty (if applicable), sections present and past
summarize PoS’ most recent position as of the year 2012 and their earlier positions, respectively, at that department or faculty. PoS’ foci of research and
their positions outside Germany are reported after their most recent position in
Germany.
With regards to academic positions, the following non-professorial positions
are distinguished, in accordance with participants’ responses on the survey:
(1) academic associate (“Mitarbeiter”), (2) research associate (“Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter”, “Wissenschaftlicher Angestellter”), (3) (academic) assistant
(“(Universitäts)assistent”), (4) study assistant (“Studienassistent”), (5) research
assistant (“Wissenschaftlicher Assistent”), (6) senior assistant (“Oberassistent”),
(7) lecturer (“Dozent”, “Lehrbeauftragter”, “Lehrkraft für besondere Aufgaben”),

(8) predoc (without doctorate), (9) postdoc, (10) PD (“Privatdozent”, private
lecturer, with habilitation), and (11) scholar (“Stipendiat”).
In addition, we differentiate between (12) Akademischer Rat and (13) Akademischer Oberrat, where (13) is the senior version of (12). In contrast to (1)–(11),
(12) and (13) describe civil servant positions. The modifier ‘auf Zeit’ indicates
that the position is temporary.
Note that the categories (1) academic associate, (2) research associate, (3)
(academic) assistant, and (7) lecturer are heterogeneous. For these positions, we
added information based on research on the web. Moreover, these positions may
differ from positions with the same label outside Germany (e.g., the UK).
For professorships there exist two classifications: The old classification of
professorial positions discriminates between C3 and C4 professorships, where
C4 professorships are equipped with a higher salary. The categories C1 and C2
refer to non-professorial or non-regular professorial posts.
The new classification of professorial positions differentiates between three
types of professorships. W2 and W3 positions describe traditional professorships,
where W3 professorships are furnished with a higher salary. In contrast, W1
positions are junior professorships. Junior professorships have been installed
in Germany several years ago as an alternative to the traditional habilitation
process. However, at present there are only a few junior professorships available
in philosophy.
In addition, there are non-regular professorships (apl. professorship, “Außerplanmäßige Professur”). The apl. professorships are are sometimes awarded to
PDs and often lack the financial compensation of regular professorial posts.

Philosophers’ Finest
This section focuses on German PoS’ finest, that is their most important publications in philosophy of science, as elicited by the survey. In fact, all survey
participants were required to select and rank their most important publications
in philosophy of science according to their importance.12
The publications below are listed separately for each philosopher of science
and appear as given by each survey participant. In addition, lower numbers indicate higher importance. We also marked those publications that were indicated
by two PoS with an asterisk.
12 The only exception was Daniela Bailer-Jones (†). Jochen Apel provided a ranked list of
Daniela Bailer-Jones’ most important publications in philosophy of science.

AF
T
Due to the nature of our survey, the list of publications below has to be
qualified. Firstly, the survey only asked for publications in philosophy of science. In addition, we did not require survey participants to have philosophy of
science as their main research focus, but only as one of their research foci. As a
consequence, the list below does not cover excellent publications in other areas
than philosophy of science.
Secondly, each philosopher of science was allowed to indicate maximally five
publications. Moreover, some PoS in Germany did not participate in the survey. For these reasons, the list below also leaves out first-class publications in
philosophy of science.
However, given the large number of participants (see Sect. 3.1), the list
of publications still seems to give a rough impression of the most important
publications by PoS in Germany as a whole.

Institutional Background
Centers

AF
T
Which institutions can be regarded as centers or “strongholds” for philosophy
of science in Germany? To answer this question, we (i) compiled a list of official
centers with a focus on philosophy of science. Furthermore, we (ii) inquired,
based on the survey results, which institutions (e.g., universities, research centers) were centers in the sense of having most PoS.
Table 3 lists official centers in Germany with a focus on philosophy of science.
To determine the institutions with the highest number of PoS (point (ii)),
we counted all positions at the time of the survey, that is 2012, as summarized
under the header present in Sect. 4.
The Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich had most PoS (n = 11), followed by the University of Düsseldorf (n = 7). The Ruhr University of Bochum
(n = 6, Department I and II combined) and the University of Bonn (n = 6)
were third. The Humboldt University of Berlin, the Technical University Munich, and the University of Münster achieved rank four (n = 5). In contrast, the
majority of institutions in Germany had two or less PoS (see Sect. 4).
Societies and Associations
DR
In this section we shall describe societies and associations with a focus on philosophy of science in Germany.
There exists one German-based philosophy of science society: the Society
for Philosophy of Science (“Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftsphilosophie”, GWP;
GWP, n.d.). The GWP was founded in 2011 and organizes congresses every
three years. Its current president is Holger Lyre.
Two German associations focus on the philosophy of the special sciences:
the Working Committee Philosophy of Physics (“Arbeitsgruppe Philosophie der
Physik”) of the German Physical Society (“Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft”;
Arbeitsgruppe Philosophie der Physik, 2012a), which was founded in 2004 (Arbeitsgruppe Philosophie der Physik, 2012b); and the Network Philosophy of
the Life Sciences (“Netzwerk Philosophie der Lebenswissenschaften”), which was
born in 2011 and which is a part of the DFG funding scheme (Netzwerk der
Lebenswissenschaften, n.d.).
PoS are also represented by the two large German philosophical societies: (a)
the Society for Analytic Philosophy (“Gesellschaft für Analytische Philosophie”,
GAP) and (b) the German Society for Philosophy (“Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Philosophie”, DGPhil).
The GAP was founded in 1990 (GAP, n.d.) and organizes triennial congresses
(GAP, n.d.), which include a large section specifically dedicated to logic and
philosophy of science. Its current president is Achim Stephan.
The DGPhil was launched in 1950 (Hogrebe, 2002, p. 7) by the name “Allgemeine Gesellschaft für Philosophy” (“General Society for Philosophy”). The

There are four German-based journals with a focus on philosophy of science: (1)
Erkenntnis, (2) the Journal for General Philosophy of Science, (3) Philosophia
Naturalis, and (4) Physics and Philosophy.
Erkenntnis was founded by Hans Reichenbach and Rudolf Carnap in 1930
(Carnap and Reichenbach, 1930) and re-founded by Carl Hempel, Wolfgang
Stegmüller, and Wilhelm Essler in 1975 (Hempel, Stegmüller, and Essler, 1975).
Its current editor-in-chief is Hannes Leitgeb (Erkenntnis, n.d.).
Alwin Diemer, Lutz Geldsetzer, and Gert König launched the Journal for
General Philosophy of Science (JGPS) in 1970 by the name ‘Zeitschrift für allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie’. The current editors-in-chief are Ulrich Krohs,
Helmut Pulte, and Gregor Schiemann (Journal for General Philosophy of Science, n.d.). Since 2013 the journal is associated with the GWP.
Philosophia Naturalis was founded in 1950 by Eduard May, Wilfried Stache,
and Hermann Wein (E. May, 1950). It is currently edited by Andreas Bartels,
Olaf L. Müller, Manfred Stöckler, and Marcel Weber (Philosophia Naturalis,
n.d.).
Physics and Philosophy is the newest addition of German-based philosophy of
science journals. It is an open access journal and was founded in 2006. Its current
editors are Brigitte Falkenburg and Wolfgang Rhode (Physics and Philosophy,
n.d.).
Several central characteristics of the German philosophy of science community
have been discussed and described: PoS’ (i) academic positions, (ii) research
foci, (iii) publications, and (iv) externally funded research projects.
To this end, this paper has given precise quantitative estimates of points
(i)–(iv) based on a large sample of participants, in addition to a qualitative
description of (i)-(iii).
A potential limitation was that predocs were underrepresented compared to
professors and emeriti, and to some extent postdocs and PDs. However, since
we were mainly interested in academic positions, publications, and externally
funded research projects, an underrepresentation of predocs did not seem to
have affected our main findings strongly.
Let us now discuss some main findings of this paper: Firstly, the German
philosophy of science community seems to be larger than the estimate of Lyre
(2008a) might suggest and also larger than we expected.
Secondly, the number of externally funded projects focusing on philosophy
of science seemed to have increased in recent years. Since externally funded
projects often come with non-permanent short-term positions, this might at

least partially have contributed to the large number of PoS in Germany. On
the other hand, a qualitative inspection of the survey data indicated that the
number of permanent positions did not increase.
Thirdly, the results indicate that women are underrepresented, except for
junior professorships. Although the large proportion of female junior professors
might seem to be progress in terms of gender balance, it is arguably not. This
percentage was not backed up by an increased percentage of women at earlier
career stages, such as predoctoral, postdoctoral, and PD stages. Rather, to attain a higher percentage of female professors, it seems advisable to focus on
these earlier career stages, particularly the predoctoral stage.
Fourthly, PoS in Germany participate strongly in the international debate
and are closely interlinked with the international research landscape. Such a
conclusion is supported by the large percentage of English language publications
as well as PoS’ preference for non-local, that is non-German-based, journals. In
addition, it was particularly remarkable that about a fourth of the funding
institutions of external projects involved funding institutions outside Germany.
Fifthly, PoS in Germany have an excellent track record of publications. Importantly, the most frequently journals among PoS’ most important publications
overlap greatly with the most prestigious journals in the field, as determined by
the international philosophy of science community. In addition, PoS’ publications with non-German-based publishers subsume the most highly esteemed
publishers in philosophy, along with prestigious German-based publishers.
Taken together, this paper provides evidence that philosophy of science in
Germany is in good shape. There are downsides, such as the gender imbalance
as well as the increasing number of temporary positions rather than permanent
positions. On the other hand, the German philosophy of science community is
rather large and its members have a strong track record of excellent publications. Furthermore, the Germany philosophy of science community seems to be
well interconnected with international research community. In sum, our findings suggest that the German philosophy of science community and its research
definitely merits attention.
