The two keynote speakers for HOPOS 2026 are Peter R. Anstey (Australian Catholic University) and Heather Douglas (Michigan State University).
HOPOS is devoted to promoting scholarly research on the history of the philosophy of science. We construe this subject broadly, to include topics in the history of related disciplines and in all historical periods, studied through diverse methodologies. HOPOS 2026 is thus open to scholarly work on the history of philosophy of science from any disciplinary perspective. To encourage scholarly exchange that speaks to the cultural and temporal reach of HOPOS, the HOPOS 2026 Program Committees especially encourage submissions that take up philosophical themes that cross different cultures and time periods.
