Indiana University Bloomington

The Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana University was founded in 1960 by Ed Grant and the late N. R. Hanson. HPSC is perhaps best described as a discipline devoted to using a wide variety of historical and philosophical approaches to understand one of the most important conceptual and cultural enterprises of the modern world—science.
