History and Philosophy of Science research

History and Philosophy of Science is an interdisciplinary field which examines the nature and development of science — a powerful force which both explains and shapes the world around us. Using historical and philosophical methods we ask what, why and how science tells us about the nature of everything from moving planets to the human mind, and question the role of science, technology and medicine in creating a modern society. 

Our activities are organised by the Centre for the History and Philosophy of Science. Click the links below to find out more about our staff, our recent and current research projects, and the Centre.
