History and Philosophy of Cosmology Society
ETS
An international scholarly network dedicated to the history, philosophy, and cultural dimensions of cosmological thought — from ancient models of the heavens to contemporary theories of the universe.
WHO WE ARE
Nice people
The Society brings together historians, philosophers, physicists, and historians of science who study how humanity has understood the cosmos across cultures and centuries.
Through conferences, working groups, and an active publication programme, we foster dialogue between the sciences and the humanities on the deepest questions about the universe.
