Why history and philosophy of science matters
Machines, Motion, Mechanics
Between the 1670s and 1680s, the French King Louis XIV's evolving vision for the fountains of the Versailles gardens challenged the knowledge and abilities of his hydraulic engineers. The supplying of water to Versailles and achieving the desired effects with water jets posed major problems. Since solving them required an understanding of hydrostatics and the principles of natural motion, the work was well-suited to the expert members of the Acad…

What happens when an anti-realist and a realist read each other’s book
This is an editorial
Two symposia worth reading
Identifying a classic in history, philosophy, and social studies of science
The relics of scientists
Four years, and 12 issues later
This is the final issue in our fourth year as editors. It is truly unbelievable to us that so much time has passed since Stathis and Theodore handed over the editorship of the journal to us. We have now hit our stride, and despite the many distractions between each issue of the journal, we have managed to settle on a set of practices that ensure that we have each new issue ready on schedule. No doubt we continue to rely heavily on and benefit fro…
Scholars and their books
Reflections on the origins and importance of our fields
During the first half of the twentieth century, several scholars around the globe wished to understand how the natural sciences have come to have a significant bearing on almost all other human endeavours. Consequently, figures such as James B. Conant at Harvard University famously promoted a stand-alone discipline, often referred to as the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS), to bridge the gap in research and scholarship between the sciences…

Metascience, 1 year later
The three issues of 2015 include 94 pieces, including symposia, essay reviews, books reviews, and book notes, written by 102 contributors.We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many reviewers for their contributions that both sustain and constitute the journal.And both of us have enjoyed the opportunity to read, in the process of editing, so many engaging reviews about so many thoughtful new books.We hope our readers find the reviews…
Metascience
From antiquity to the late renaissance, a symposium was regarded as a convivial gathering of well-educated individuals to discuss a specific matter intelligently while enjoying wine. The modern meaning of the word, for better or for worse, has dropped the implication of a drinking party and (perhaps as a consequence) does not always elicit conviviality from its participants. Fortunately, opening every print edition of Metascience, we are able to …
Metascience and Neurath’s boat
Supporting the “metascientific” community
We would like to welcome two new additions to the editorial team at Springer looking after Metascience. Jos Walbeek has retired, passing the baton to Catherine Murphy to take over as Production Co-ordinator. We wish Jos the best in his retirement and thank him for his efforts over many

Shaping knowledge
Galileo’s lessons on critical reasoning
Translation, Experimentation and the Spring of the Air
In 1668, when the Royal Society of London received a copy of the book of experiments compiled by the Tuscan Accademia del Cimento, it was deemed by the Society to contain little that was new or innovative, and was seemingly soon forgotten. Yet 15 years later, Richard Waller's English translation of this book was licensed and published by the Society. The only reason offered by historians for this turnaround in the English attitude towards the boo…

Stories about the Birth of Modern Science
Natural philosophizing inside the late seventeenth-century Tuscan court
The Accademia del Cimento in seventeenth-century Florence has traditionally been seen as the first European organization to employ an experimental programme, thus becoming a major participant in the so-called ‘birth of modern experimental science’. Such traditional accounts have also detailed the cultural, political and religious environment of the period that contributed to the Accademia's use of a supposedly atheoretical experimental method. Ho…
