Projects in progress
SPiN conducts several research projects in philosophy of science, both collective and individual.
MIS (FNRS) project | Rethinking anti-reductionist physicalism for the 21st century
Collaborative research project (2023-2026) under the direction of Olivier Sartenaer bringing together Maxime Hilbert (PhD student), Gauvain Leconte-Chevillard (Post-doc) and Andrea Roselli (Post-doc), and whose main object is to rethink anti-reductionist physicalism in the light of a new, so-called "diachronic" theory of emergence, with forays into the physical and biological sciences.
Doctoral projects
Eve-Aline Dubois, PhD student in History and Philosophy of Science (Astronomy)
What happens to the concept of infinity once applied to time and space? Eve-Aline Dubois is conducting research in the history of ideas on the construction of the idea of eternity in cosmology, as well as on the notion of a spatially infinite universe.
Doan Vu Duc, PhD student in Philosophy of Science (Naturalized Epistemology)
How do we distinguish between science and pseudoscience? The problem known as "demarcation", is of importance in the face of the proliferation of scientific misinformation. Doan Vu Duc conducts naturalized epistemology research on the nature of science, based on the interactionist theory of reason
