PHIL 244 - Philosophy of Science

3 hours
This course explores some fundamental questions regarding science as a “quest for knowledge”: the nature of scientific knowledge, its methods (both as proclaimed and as actually practiced by scientists), and its boundaries. The course investigates some common myths about scientific knowledge, and also inquires about some ethical issues raised by its practical applications.

This course will satisfy the philosophy core area requirement.
