PHI 158 The Scientific Method

An inquiry into the nature and value of science. In this course we will address such questions as: What is science? Is there a method common to all the sciences? Does science give us truth? Is science value-free? What are the ethical rules appropriate for scientific practice? This course is highly recommended for students majoring in one of the sciences, but all students who meet the prerequisite are welcome. Prerequisite: one lower division course in philosophy.
