The Center for the History of Philosophy and Science (CHPS) brings historians of philosophy and historians of science together in a single research group. This constellation is unique to the extent that CHPS studies philosophy and science as historically intertwined fields. The goal of the CHPS is to study the evolution of natural philosophy from Antiquity to the modern age. The centre is proud of its international reputation for academic excellence, its successful efforts in the sphere of valorization and its ability to attract new projects and staff.
