                HOPOS 
The History of Philosophy of Science Working Group 
 
HOPOS is an informal, international working group of scholars who 
share an interest in promoting serious, scholarly research on the 
history of the philosophy of science and related topics in the 
history of the natural and social sciences, logic, philosophy, 
and mathematics.  We interpret this statement of shared interest 
broadly, meaning to include all historical periods and diverse 
methodologies.  We aim to promote historical work in a variety of 
ways, including the sponsorship of meetings and conference 
sessions, the publication of special issues of journals, the 
dissemination of information about libraries, archives and 
collections, and, as more ambitious projects become feasible, the 
preparation of bibliographies and finding guides. 
 
Membership in HOPOS is open to all; 
dues are $15.00 per year, payable to the treasurer:
