Summary
This program introduces the major philosophical categories of the philosophy of natural science: ontology, epistemology, methodology, logic, and politics/morality. It gives a brief history of the origins of Rationalism and Empiricism and examines the work of the Vienna School of Logical Positivism and the sympathetic critique of Karl Popper and Karl Hempel. It considers the “problem of induction” and their “falsificationism” solution to it. The last section gives a synopsis of Thomas Kuhn’s classic work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
