Week 9 Discussion - Limits of Science

 

Purpose

To assess your ability to debate the limits of science.

 

Overview

It is the goal of the philosophy of science to make clear how science both acquires and applies knowledge by examining the logic of scientific evidence or explanations, the nature of scientific laws, and the nature of scientific theories.  However, the methods of science we use to provide us with knowledge have limits, especially in regard to the types of questions that can be answered.  For example, “Just because something seems (or is believed to be) real, does not mean it is real.  But, can we ever know what is real?  For, not only is there the problem of determining whether a real world exists independently of human experience, but the problem of determining how the real world can be known (i.e., as justified true belief)." (See key points, Week 9.).  In this discussion we explore the limits of science and what this means for the pursuit of knowledge (i.e., justified true belief).
