Philosophical perspectives on the replication ‘crisis’
Project workshop: 20 – 21 May 2021
About
This workshop brings together philosophers and psychologists to discuss their perspectives on the replication crisis. It will focus on the epistemic values that can be gained from replication, and conceptual questions about what constitutes a replication attempt (failed or successful).
