The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon plans to close the Department of #History and #Philosophy of #Science – the only one in Portugal. Historian Nuno Castel-Branco from the University of Oxford explains why this is not a wise idea at all. expresso.pt/opiniao/2024-0…

É uma péssima ideia acabar com o departamento de História e Filosofia da Ciência da Universidade de Lisboa. Trabalham aí algumas das pessoas pelas quais tenho o maior respeito intelectual, como é o caso do Henrique Leitão e do Francisco Malta Romeiras. Representa o melhor que Portugal tem

O meu livro apoia-se nesta matéria no trabalho de Henrique Leitão e Francisco Malta Romeiras, que trabalham no dept. de Hist. e Filosofia da Ciência da U. de Lisboa, único em Portugal e em risco de fechar. Fernando Alexandre vais deixar que se feche o que tem excelência, ficando os medíocres?
