Having examined previous volumes of the Boston Studies series
devoted to different countries, and having discussed the best way
to present contemporary research in France, we have arrived at a
careful selection of 15 participants, including the organizers. Our
aim is to bring together philosophers and practicing scientist from
the major institutions of the country, both universities and
research centers.
The areas of research represented here cover a wide spectrum of
sciences, from mathematics and physics to the life sciences, as
well as linguistics and economics. This selection is a showcase of
French philosophy of science, illustrating the different methods
employed: logico-linguistic analysis, rational reconstruction and
historical inquiry. These participants have the ability to relate
their research both to the French tradition and current discussions
on the international scene. Also included is a substantial
historical introduction, explaining the development of philosophy
of science in France, the various schools of thought and methods as
well as the major concepts and their significance.
