Mission Statement Edit
The Society for the Metaphysics of Science (SMS) is an international scholarly organization that promotes work in the metaphysics of science. The SMS embraces traditional philosophical inquiry into topics relevant to science (e.g., laws, time, space, etc.) as well as “science-first” methods of practicing metaphysics (e.g., ontology of quantum physics, the nature of mechanisms in biology, etc.). We host an annual conference, rotating between in-person events in North America and the rest of the world (usually Europe), with a fully online conference every third year.
