History

In 1960, the University of Pittsburgh's academic vice chancellor, Charles H. Peake, appointed Adolf Grünbaum as Andrew Mellon Professor of Philosophy with the mandate to establish the Center for Philosophy of Science. The Center's mission is to foster original work in the philosophy and history of science.

The first activity of the Center was the establishment of an annual lecture series. The papers delivered at the lecture series are published as part of the University of Pittsburgh Series in the Philosophy of Science by the University of Pittsburgh Press.
