Content | Logic and Critical Thinking is a course that examines the main philosophical questions regarding the nature of science, how science works, methods of obtaining science, and the implications of the development of modern science. This course also seeks to examine the position of science in the universe of philosophy and the role of philosophy in the debate on the basic rules of modern science. This course is directed at three main themes; first, exploring the difference between science and common sense, including its characteristics and methods of acquisition which are the subject of study in the philosophy of science. Second, examines major transitions in the philosophy of science tradition, namely falsification (Karl Raimund Popper) and paradigm change/scientific revolution (Thomas Kuhn). Third, examining classical debates in the philosophy of science, including the question whether reality can be fully explained by science? How does historical contextuality influence the development of science? How have science succeeded (and failed) in transforming human civilization? Finally, students are invited to appreciate the practical implications that philosophy of science brings to a variety of modern research methodologies. |
