Shang Wang

Research Interests: 

My research lies at the intersection of the history of philosophy and the philosophy of science, with particular attention to the role of metaphysical frameworks in shaping our understanding of nature. 

Reason for my visit to Harvard:

My visit to Harvard provides an opportunity to deepen my engagement with early modern philosophy and the broader methodological traditions that shape contemporary metaphysical inquiry. By working within an intellectually rigorous environment and participating in ongoing discussions in the history of philosophy and philosophy of science, I aim to refine the conceptual and methodological foundations of my project.
