PHIL 328 - Philosophy of Science

The course examines the nature of scientific theories, the practice of science, and the consequences of technology for our lives. It addresses puzzles about the nature of space and time, quantum mechanics, and evolutionary theory and confronts skeptical challenges to belief in unobservable entities and to the progress of science. Moral implications of science and its institutions are also evaluated.
