Boston University Center for Philosophy and History of Science

The Center was an offshoot of the Institute for the Unity of Science,[1] which was itself the American transplant of the Vienna Circle.

The Institute's central figure, Philipp Frank, had been one of the Vienna Circle's member and founder, and took part in the development of the Center's Colloquium series.

[4] Over the past 50 years, the Colloquium has hosted talks by the most prominent figures in the philosophy of science.

The CPHS is closely linked to the Center for Einstein Studies, also based at Boston University.

Boston University's Mugar Memorial Library holds a complete copy of physicist Albert Einstein's papers.
