Pełny opis:

While analyzing the most crucial problems and controversies of the contemporary philosophy of science and science and technology studies the course will concentrate on the following themes and problems:

- Relation between science and philosophy, why do we need philosophy in order to understand science in action.

- Who is the subject of science (who asks the cognitive questions, how and why?)

- Problematization and historical context of modern science basic ideas and practices (objectivity, autonomy, subject/object division, reason, experiment).

- Science and technology studies tradition and the contemporary applications.

- Modern scientific cognitive values, rationality and objectivity versus the dynamics of the contemporary technoscience in the context of critical approach.

- Elitism of the contemporary science: marginalized agents in science and technology via gender, race, social class, economic status, the place of living.

- The problem of commercialization of science and its entanglement in short-term economical and political aims (the case of genetics).

Uwagi:

Students are highly encouraged to participate in all classes and take part in the discussions after reading the texts at home. We will analyze them carefully and within the group, for the debates are intended to clarify the content of texts, present the historical background, help to understand students’ own points of view.

Preparing short (2-3 pages) review of the chosen text from the philosophy of science domain will increase the final grade.

THE FIRST WARM-UP ORGANIZATIONAL CLASS WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE 21ST OF OCTOBER!

Skrócony opis:

The objective of the course is to present and critically recognize the most crucial problems and controversies of the contemporary philosophy of science and science and technology studies. It includes: relation between science and philosophy, problem of demarcation (science and pseudoscience), specificity of modern versus contemporary science, rationality, objectivity and values in science (declared and actually realized in scientific theories and practices), empiricism and scientific realism, critical approaches to science (knowledge and power relations).
