Symposium on Mary Hesse

The fifth biennal congress of the International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science  that will start next week in Vienna will host a symposium devoted to “Mary B. Hesse’s Philosophy of Science and Her Legacy”.
The symposium has been organized by María de Paz, bringing together four different perspectives on Hesse, to discuss her work on the occasion of the centenary of her birth. The papers will focus on major themes explored by Hesse, as well as on her philosophical background:
– “Wittgenstein and Hesse on Metaphors and Family
Resemblance” by David Hommen;
– “Mary Hesse to the Rescue in Contemporary Realism Debates” by Laura Bujalance Fernández-Quero;
– “Hesse’s Modified Realism and Science as a Process” by María de Paz and María J. Gutiérrez-Márquez;
– “Expanding the Epistemological Framework of Natural Science: Mary Hesse (and Thomas Kuhn) on Hermeneutics, Translation, and Interpretation” by Pietro Gori.
