Aarhus Summer University: Integrated History and Philosophy of Science
Aarhus Summer University: Integrated History and
Philosophy of Science
How are history and philosophy of science related to each
other? How can historical studies of science be brought to bear on the
philosophical interpretation of scientific practice? Conversely, how can
philosophical reflection on science enrich the historical understanding of
scientific development? In this course, we will discuss these questions and
examine various possibilities of blending history and philosophy of science, by
exploring topics such as the dynamics of scientific change, the function of experimentation
and measurement, and the structure of scientific discovery.
