Maarten Van Dyck is associate professor in philosophy at Ghent University where he teaches courses in epistemology, metaphysics and history and philosophy of science. He wrote a PhD dissertation at Ghent University on An Archaeology of Galileo’s Science of Motion (2006). His research investigates the conceptual and epistemological changes that shaped the scientific revolution, with a particular focus on the mathematisation of the study of nature, as well as the historiographical and philosophical questions that are raised by the use of the category of scientific revolution itself. He combines his work in the history of science with an active interest in the history of this discipline and its relation to developments within the history of 20th century philosophy.
