2nd IHPST Asian Regional Conference

4 - 6 December 2014, Taipei City, Chinese Taipei

Introduction

the 2nd International History, Philosophy and Science Teaching Asian Regional Conference will be held in Taipei, Taiwan 2014. When science came to the non-Western world, such as East Asia, it was often visualized as something powerful and universal. The theme of this conference is intended to examine this conventional view and to emphasize the democratic nature of science. Following the tradition of IHPST, the second Asian regional conference will bring researchers and educators from the history, philosophy, sociology of science and science education together to exchange ideas and research results. We sincerely invite you to join discussion on engaging the public with science.
