Stanford School
TheStanford School(humorously also called theStanford Disunity Mafia)[1]is a group of philosophers of science, the members of which taught at various times atStanford University,who share an intellectual tradition of arguing against theunity of science.[2][3]
These criticisms draw heavily from research on science as a social and cultural process as well as arguments regarding ontological and methodological plurality found in different scientific fields. This group includesNancy Cartwright,John Dupré,Peter Galison,Ian HackingandPatrick Suppes.[1][2]A notable position put forward by members of the Stanford School isentity realism.
A major conference with all the original members (except Hacking) plus original scientific collaborators, parallel philosophers, and the next generation of philosophers in this vein took place on Stanford's Campus on October 25–26, 2013.[4]An anthology of this conference is being prepared, and will also include contributors not present at the conference.
