Description

Explore the academic development of the History and Philosophy of Science through this volume from the Springer Studies in History and Philosophy of Science series. This sixth installment provides a look into the institutionalization of the field as a distinct scholarly endeavor. The text traces the historical expansion of the subject, noting how it developed in the Australasian region following the Second World War. It details the early lecturing appointments at the University of Melbourne in 1946 and the subsequent growth seen throughout the 1950s and 1960s. This growth mirrored similar movements in other parts of the world, leading to the establishment of major departments at institutions such as the University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales. This book serves as a valuable resource for those studying the history of scientific thought and the evolution of academic departments. It provides context on how scientific philosophy became a recognized area of study within global university systems.
