Philosophy of Science class

Name: Anonymous 2009-02-03 23:44

I'm taking a "philosophy of Science" undergrad course righ now, but there's so few people in it the instructor just makes us do a bunch of "group discussion", so I don't actually learn anything.  What are some good Philosophy of science resources.

Well, that's going to make the term paper a little difficult.

Not if the term paper consists of questions like "So what do you think about induction? Can you think of any times when you've aplpied it to your own life? Write a short story that uses induction as a central theme."

You should tell your professor you want your money back. Tell him he should change the name of the class to "Philosophy of scamming money out of stupid kids".

Also, filthy chink anuses.

Read some Karl Popper.
Studying philosophy at university is a waste of time.

Philosophy of science has to do with the way in which a person thinks and feels when and how they perform scientific method and research.
In researching anything you should always take into account how it makes you feel before, during, and after the events.

"For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known."

1 Corinthians 13:12
New American Standard Bible (©1995)

I use the bible to make confirmations to evidence, not beforehand. It's really amazing. The builders of the bible were truly amazing. What threw me off was the metaphors as opposed to general statements or vague descriptions. The use actual events to tell a story...it's very interesting. Of course, like I've heard before, people see only what they want to see; perhaps that may be true for me as well? It would certainly fit the bill, amirite?

Well, try and read "What is this thing called science?" by Chalmers, its a good introduction.

Don't change these.
