PHIL 222 - Philosophy of Science


Next Offered: 2014-2015
Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4HU

Our best scientific theories seemingly posit an array of entities which we are unable to detect with the unaided senses, but which nonetheless underlie the world of everyday experience – things such as genes, electrons, and magnetic fields. Do we have good reason to believe in such entities? And do we arrive at the theories in question by employing a `scientific method’ which guarantees truth and objectivity?
