The group discusses philosophical, historical, and sociological aspects of scientific discovery. How should we understand the very notion? What are typical instances of such discoveries? How (far) can they be understood or explained rationally? Are there rational tools or even \u201clogics\u201d of discovery? What are the implication for science policy? Philosophical analyses, historical and sociological case studies, as well as controversies between different approaches will be used to discuss these and related questions. \u2013 There is some leeway about the reading list; group members are invited to propose better alternatives to the group. All welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n
