The workshop welcomes formal and informal contributions on anomalies in scientific disciplines -- with a particular focus on novel ways to characterize, reconstruct, and explain anomalies in different areas of scientific research. Topics include, but are not limited to the following:
The ontological status of anomalies (the nature of anomalies in science, the limits of scientific research programs).
The epistemological significance of anomalies (their relation with ignorance, knowledge, and scientific understanding).
The role of logic(s) in handling anomalies in science (distinct inferential mechanisms that could underlie the phenomenon of handling anomalies in the sciences, formal reconstructions of historical anomalies).
The social and cultural dimensions of anomalies (how scientific communities respond to new evidence, how scientific communities respond to anomalies)
The methodological challenges of studying anomalies (the methodological challenges involved in identifying, studying, and interpreting anomalies in different scientific disciplines).
SUBMISSIONS:
Abstracts should be 200-500 words (+ references), prepared for blind review, separately, please, include the contact information of the authors.
