Public Lecture by Prof. Martin Kusch

Computational Science: Non-Human or Social Epistemology?

Lecture


In a number of places Paul Humphreys has emphasised that computational science calls for a new kind of thinking about knowledge, that is, the recognition that "scientific epistemology is no longer human epistemology". This paper will distinguish between different readings of this idea and seek to evaluate them in light of earlier discussions about computers in the sociology of scientific knowledge and social epistemology.

Martin Kusch is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Vienna and a member of the DK Faculty.
