Summary

The Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh is devoted to philosophy of science in all its forms. It was founded in 1960 by Adolf Grünbaum and its first activities included the Annual Lecture Series and a supporting series of volumes. In the decades following, Center activities were expanded to include a Visiting Fellows Program, through which philosophers of science reside in the Center for a term or academic year to talk philosophy and undertake their own research; philsci-archive.pitt.edu, a preprint server; Pitt-Tsinghua Summer School for Philosophy of Science; and most recently, the Pittsburgh Summer Program (PSP) in Philosophy of Science for Underrepresented Groups. The Center supports a full calendar of events, including weekly lunchtime talks, monthly lectures, workshops, and international conferences.
