What is the utility of studying philosophy? And what is the purpose of studying it alongside the sciences? <\/b>These were the questions at the heart of a recent conference held at Schmid College. From January 30 to February 2, \u201c<\/span>Is Philosophy Useful for the Sciences, And\/Or Vice Versa?<\/span><\/a>\u201d brought together philosophers and scientists alike to discuss the applicability of philosophy to scientific fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The conference was convened in celebration of the first year of the <\/span>Math, Philosophy and Physics (MPP) doctoral program<\/span><\/a>, led by program director and <\/span>Kennedy Chair in Philosophy<\/span><\/a> Marco Panza. Co-leading this conference was Thomas Pradeu, <\/span>Senior Investigator in Philosophy of Science at CNRS and the University of Bordeaux, and a Presidential Fellow at Chapman.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thomas Pradeu of CNRS welcomed attendees and introduced the purpose of the conference on January 30.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The week included presentations from <\/span>two dozen scholars, hailing from 16 institutions across five different countries<\/b>. Nearly ten distinct disciplines were represented, from statistics to microbiology to (naturally) philosophy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe importance of philosophy for science is often professed,\u201d said Panza, \u201cBut in most cases this remains a principled declaration.\u201d The conference\u2019s aim was to encourage detailed exploration into the matter, and to<\/span> convene scholars across disciplines<\/b> \u201cto reflect on the effective role of philosophy in scientific practice.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is why it was crucial for this conference to host world-leading scientists, representing a diversity of disciplines from biology to physics, mathematics, and the social sciences,\u201d added Pradeu. \u201cThese scientists are in the <\/span>best possible position <\/b>to determine the extent to which philosophy or philosophers have played a useful role in actual scientific practice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Robert Knight<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>founding Director of the Center for Microbiome Innovation at UC San Diego, presented a talk entitled \u201c<\/span>The Human Microbiome and its Implications for Philosophy<\/b>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also discussing microbiology was <\/span>Margaret McFall-Ngai<\/span><\/a>, Faculty Associate in Biology and Biological Engineering at Caltech, with the talk \u201c<\/span>The Consequences of Living in a Microbial World<\/b>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the numerical realm, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford <\/span>Damian R\u00f6ssler<\/span><\/a> presented \u201c<\/span>Is Philosophy Useful for Mathematics and\/or Vice Versa?<\/b>,\u201d while CNRS\u2019 <\/span>Karine Chemla<\/span><\/a> presented \u201c<\/span>The Entanglement of Philosophical and Mathematical Reflections in Poncelet\u2019s Introduction of Ideal Elements in Mathematics<\/b>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Presentations relating to the human mind included \u201c<\/span>Philosophy and Neuroscience in the Study of Conscious Perception<\/b>\u201d from Chapman\u2019s <\/span>Aaron Schurger<\/span><\/a> and \u201cT<\/span>he Essential Role of Philosophy in Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology<\/b>\u201d from Caltech\u2019s <\/span>Ralph Adolphs<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recordings of many of the conference\u2019s talks can be found on Schmid\u2019s <\/span>YouTube channel<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Chapman has a strong history of interdisciplinary research<\/b>,\u201d said Michael Ibba, Dean of Schmid College. \u201cIn fact, our president is both a mathematician and a philosopher,\u201d he noted of President Daniele C. Struppa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPhilosophy has relevance across many areas of STEM, and exploring that connection leads to deeper insights for both philosophical and scientific inquiry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dean Ibba discussed this interdisciplinary connection, and the MPP program specifically, in a <\/span>recent episode of the <\/b>Inside Higher Ed<\/i><\/b> podcast<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cPhilosophy is a reflection of the <\/span>basic conceptual structures we employ to describe the world<\/b> and to understand it,\u201d added Panza. \u201cThinking philosophically means to put these structures in question and to look for more suitable alternatives. This is just what scientific innovation requires.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
