HONS 245 Honors Colloquium: Special Topics in the History and Philosophy of Science (3-4)

Science is deeply intertwined in both historical and philosophical thinking. Many of the greatest scientific minds throughout the centuries were also philosophers. In this colloquium series, students will explore enduring questions as to how time, place, and context all impact scientific research, and how the role of philosophy has developed over time to delineate the boundary between science and pseudo-science. Colloquium courses are writing and reading intensive, discussion-based, and interdisciplinary in nature.
