Philosophy of Science with Natural Philosophy

Education facts

The sciences occupy a prominent place in contemporary thinking, as well as in today’s society in general. In this course we will take a closer look at the knowledge claims and methods of the various sciences. In what sense can science be said to provide knowledge? What claims do the sciences make to describe reality? Can they help us understand fundamental aspects of the world, such as its temporal and causal structure, or the phenomenon of life in the physical universe?
