Course description

Modern science emerged in the seventeenth century, deepening our understanding of our place in the world by means of theories that offered comprehensive explanations of how nature works. But what exactly is 'science'? From where does science gain its authority? And why should we trust science at all? This is a course for scientifically minded philosophers and philosophically minded scientists (and everyone in between!) that explores topics such as the methodology, and historical development, of contemporary scientific practice, scientific values and biases, and the interface between science and society.
