Ian Hacking and the Historical Reason of the Sciences

Dear all, 

We are very glad to announce the release of a new issue of Philosophical Inquiries (IX, 1-2021). The issue features a Focus section discussing Ian Hacking’s philosophy,  his arguments on the combination between history and philosophy of science, on experimental realism, on scientific stability and on the disunity of the sciences. The Focus section is edited by Matteo Vagelli and Marica Setaro. The issue also presents Gaston Bachelard’s introduction to his Le rationalisme appliqué translated into English for the first time.
