British Society for the Philosophy of Science (BSPS)

Active

Description

The British Society for the Philosophy of Science (BSPS) is a professional society that furthers the study of the logic, the methods, and the philosophy of science, as well as those of the various special sciences, including the social sciences. It pursues this mission by providing doctoral scholarships, small conference grants, and administering awards, and it organises an annual conference for its members. The BSPS is also the professional society that administers the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, which was founded in 1950 and is published for the Society by University of Chicago Press.

In January of 1959 the Philosophy of Science Group was reconstituted as the British Society for the Philosophy of Science. The Society has a record archive that is held at the University of Leeds. It is a registered charity, and its registered address is at the Department of Philosophy of the London School of Economics.
