The fellows of the doctoral program (DK) “The Sciences in Historical, Philosophical and Cultural Contexts” (Universität Wien) cordially invite you to join us for the closing workshop of the DK’s 2nd funding period:

SCIENCE AS A FACTory? LOOKING AT SCIENCE EYE TO EYE, NOT FROM ABOVE THE FACTS

The dichotomy between facts and values, and, relatedly, that between objectivity and subjectivity, has a long track-record in the history of thought. The traditional view, which is still dominant in popular culture but also in parts of the academic community, is that science occupies a privileged status as society’s “fact-factory.” In this workshop we bring together a variety of different perspectives – historical, philosophical and scientific – to discuss whether this value-free ideal of science holds up to closer analysis of the scientific practices.
