Caltech Philosophy of Science Reading Group Homepage

The Caltech Philosophy of Science Reading Group provides a forum for philosophers to present their work to others or discuss recent and classic papers in the philosophy of science. The reading group typically meets every second week during the academic year. During the 2024-5 academic year, at least, meetings will take place on Zoom.

For the Fall 2025 term, the group will meet every other Wednesday from 10am to 11.30am PST (i.e. 1pm to 2.30pm EST), beginning on the 8th of October.

If you would like to sign up to receive email updates regarding the speakers and papers to be presented, you can do so here. If you are interested in presenting some of your work, feel free to email Mahmoud Jalloh at [email protected].
