Philosophy of Science

Catalog description

GE-Human Culture: Philosophy The philosophy of science explores questions about science itself. What is science? What can science say, or not say, about the world? What is the law of nature? Does science explain or only predict? What rules of logic does science use? In this class, we will search for answers to these philosophical questions as we look at how science can be defended in light of modern criticism and explore the relationship of science to other fields of inquiry. Prerequisite: ENGL 17000 with a C or better.
