This conference is a joint venture between the 'Expertise Under Pressure' project and the 'Philosophy of Science and Epistemology' group at the University of Vienna. It is organised jointly by Martin Kusch (Vienna), Anna Alexandrova (Cambridge) and Federico Brandmayr (Cambridge). The conference will explore the history of 'exceptionalism' (the idea that the social sciences operate by fundamentally different rules to the natural sciences), its contemporary status, and its role in today's social sciences.
