Introduction
A conference will be held 22nd and 23rd September 2010 at the University
of Bath in memory of David
Gooding's contribution to the understanding of science. In recognition of his
many contributions, papers will be given by speakers who knew David and by
those whose work reflects his spirit of creative inquiry into the nature and
practices of science.
David Gooding (1947-2009) received his Ph.D. in Philosophy of Science from
Oxford University. But his many contributions transcend any easy disciplinary
boundaries. His papers and books in the history of science, philosophy of
science, cognitive science, and the social studies of science brought new
awareness of the nature and sources of Michael Faraday's work, and, more
generally, of the role of experimentation and visualization in theory
development in science. His methodological approaches pioneered and extended
the use of diagrammatic representations of scientific thinking, the computer simulation
of scientific thinking, and revivified historical, historical-cognitive, and
philosophical approaches.
We believe a conference that celebrates and extends knowledge of
scientific thinking is the best memorial for this outstanding scholar and thinker.
