The
International Academy of Philosophy of Science (AIPS) has formalized
its
founding in January 22, 1949, but existed since 1947, by occasion of
the first
Symposium of the International Institute of Theoretical Sciences (IITS)
in Brussels, Belgium,
congregating scientists, philosophers and philosophers of
science. The
AIPS established a permanent institution for training teachers and
bringing
together scientists of different nationalities, concerned with the
synthesis of
science, philosophy and theology, especially in a time when a demand
for
specialization was pressing universities worldwide. Participated in its
founding not only scientists concerned with such synthesis, such as
Bernays,
Beth, Born, Bridge, Carnap, Church, Curry, Destouches, Frank, Gonseth,
Heisenberg, Kleene, Kotarbinski, Pauli, Piaget, Poly, Popper,
Sierpinski,
Schrödinger, Whittaker, Wiener, Yukawa, but scientists who
have
designed
innovative new theories such as Einstein (relativity), Bohr (quantum
mechanics), de Broglie (wave mechanics), Brower (intuitionism) and
Fréchet
(abstract sets and symmetric spaces).
Since
its creation, the International Academy of Philosophy of Science
organized 50
(fifty) regular meetings in various European countries (Austria,
Belgium,
Denmark, France, Holland, Italy, Switzerland)
and in the United States, Mexico and Peru. This will be the first
meeting of AIPS in Brazil
and the second to be held in South America.
