History

The AIPS was created in 1947 by Stanislas Dockx. Among its first members were Paul Bernays, E W Beth, Józef Maria Bocheński, Niels Bohr, Émile Borel, L. E. J. Brouwer, Louis de Broglie, Albert Einstein, Ferdinand Gonseth, E A Milne, and Hermann Weyl. The AIPS is a founding member of the Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology.[1]

Organization

The AIPS consists of full members (membres titulaires), corresponding members (membres correspondants), and emeritus members (membres émérites) who are elected at the general annual meeting on presentation of the Academic Council (Conseil Académique). The Council consists of a President, two Vice-Presidents, two Assessors and a Secretary General. The current President is Gerhard Heinzmann (Nancy); the list of former presidents includes Evandro Agazzi (Genoa). Other members of the current Council are Michel Ghins, Gino Tarozzi, Marco Buzzoni, and Itala M. Loffredo D'Ottaviano.[2] Since 1949, the AIPS organises a series of annual conferences, usually in Europe with notable exceptions (New York 1977 and Lima 1989).[3]

The AIPS currently has over one hundred members, among them
