["Laszlo E. Szabo" <leszabo AT philosophy.elte.hu>]

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

As many of you might know, the Faculty of Science of Eotvos Lorand University 
plans to fire the whole Department of History and Philosophy of Science. (For 
further details see  http://hps.elte.hu) The Philosophy of Science Colloquium 
is, however, still working - till the final dissolution of the Department.

Best regards,
Laszlo E. Szabo
