+++LVA in englischer Sprache+++
This course aims to encourage general critical reflections regarding the role of science and the scientific method in generation of knowledge. The central objective thereby is to discuss the relative standing of science amongst other expressions of human quest for understanding and interpreting the natural world and the human condition.
This course addresses the quintessence of the scientific worldview in the context of other traditions and institutions invested in understanding and interpreting the world. An introductory treatment of science will be followed by a number of discussions with representatives of traditions and institutions pertaining to the arts, philosophy, religion, politics, and ethics. A central trust of these discussions will address the "how" and "why" questions, their meaning as relevant to the natural world and social settings, and if and to which extent they can be answered by science alone.
