PH 223 - Scientific Revolutions: History and Philosophy of Science
Credit(s): 3
This course sketches the evolution of views of nature and how best to study and explain it. We will begin with the ancient world and investigate how the ideas and beliefs of the ancients shaped how the medievals viewed science and nature. We will then study the so-called scientific revolution that gave birth to modern science. We will look at what changed – and what didn’t – about how we conceive of and study nature. We will also look at contemporary “revolutions” in science that have fundamentally changed the way we think about the world and our place in it. This course fulfills the historical studies requirement in the College of Arts and Sciences.
