Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The course is devoted to the presentation of the so called "received view of scientific theories", shaped by the Logical Positivists, but it draws upon the traditions that influenced logical positivism, namely, classical empiricism, positivism, logicism and Wittgenstein's philosophy. Apart from the work of logical positivists, such as Carnap, Neurath and Schlick, the work of Popper, Lakatos, Kuhn and Feyerabend is also presented. The topics addressed in the course of this historical presentation are the demarcation of science from metaphysics and pseudo-science, the distinct character of scientific methodology and research, the evaluation of scientific theories, the relation of observation to theory, scientific progress, the rationality of science, the ethics of science, the character of the scientific community and the relations between science and society.
