An introduction to the philosophy of science and technology 

This course introduces you to classic topics in the philosophy of science, including how we demarcate science from the potential threats of pseudoscience, scepticism, and mis- and dis-information. It addresses attempts to define the scientific method, the nature of evidence and the role of values in scientific practice. The course also addresses - from a philosophical perspective - the involvement of emerging technologies and the use of AI in knowledge production and the advancement of scientific discoveries.
