We encourage you to comment on individual abstracts using the comment function. You can also 'like' particular abstracts. Where authors have left additional information, files, or links, you can also pursue a particular topic further.

# data[].attributes.body
The contributions are organised as follows. Each symposium has its own column, with an overview of the symposium followed by abstracts for the individual contributions. The individual contributions are organised by area. Each area has its own column. Areas are also colour coded:
yellow: general philosophy of science
purple: formal philosophy of science
blue: philosophy of physics
green: philosophy of life sciences red: philosophy of social science
