The Epistemology of Medicine
25–26 June 2026
Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation
Südliches Schlossrondell 23, 80638 Munich, Germany
Rationale:
This international conference brings together leading philosophers to explore foundational questions in the epistemology of medicine. How do we generate, evaluate, and integrate knowledge in medical science and practice—especially in an era shaped by big data, advanced statistics, and artificial intelligence? By examining the nature of evidence, causal reasoning, and explanatory models in health and healthcare, the event aims to clarify how different sources of knowledge can be combined to guide effective medical decision-making and policy. Through interdisciplinary dialogue, The Epistemology of Medicine seeks to advance philosophical understanding while contributing to the broader goals of improving patient care and promoting societal well-being.
Invited Speakers:
- Enno Fischer (TU Dresden)
- Ina Jäntgen (LMU Munich)
- Ulrich Mansmann (LMU Munich)
- Lauren Ross (UC Irvine)
- Jacob Stegenga (NUT Singapore)
- Jon Williamson (Manchester)
Organizing Committee:
- Jürgen Landes (LMU Munich)
