Imagination in science

While discussions of the imagination have been limited in philosophy of science, this is beginning to change. In recent years, a vast literature on imagination in science has emerged. This paper surveys the current field, including the changing attitudes towards the scientific imagination, the fiction view of models, how the imagination can lead to knowledge and understanding, and the value of different types of imagination. It ends with a discussion of the gaps in the current literature, indicating avenues for future research

Justice in Transitional Contexts

Colleen Murphy, Associate Professor, Texas A & M University, speaks about “transitional justice” referring to the justice involved in transitioning from conflict or authoritarianism to democracy and, in particular, responding to past wrongdoing in this context. She examines the assumption that transitional justice is a unique or distinctive kind of justice presumed to be distinct from the ordinary kinds of justice found in stable democracies. Respondent: Alice MacLachlan, York University

Imagination and Creativity in the Scientific Realm

Historically left to the margins, the topics of imagination and creativity have gained prominence in philosophy of science, challenging the once dominant distinction between ‘context of discovery’ and ‘context of justification’. The aim of this chapter is to explore imagination and creativity starting from issues within contemporary philosophy of science, making connections to these topics in other domains along the way. It discusses the recent literature on the role of imagination in models and thought experiments, and their comparison with fictions. It then turns to the importance of constraints on imaginings in the scientific domain, as well as whether constraints can hinder creativity. The second part of the paper focuses on the social dimensions of science. It considers imagination and creativity of scientific communities, asks whether the institution of science promotes creativity (and whether we want it to) or if it encourages conservativeness, and ends with a reflection on the politics of imagination and creativity in science
