HHU-Sorbonne University Workshop, 11th-12th June,
Sorbonne University, France

This workshop aims to extend the scientific pluralist stance into the domain of scientific metaphysics. Although the metaphysics of science is a vast field, pluralism offers both a way to pose new questions and a means of addressing long-standing debates. Recent debates in metaphysics suggest that concerns of this kind are far from out of place.
