Learning outcomes
The purpose of this course is to study the methodology and the fundamental concepts of modern science, of mathematics and physics but also of the sciences of life, and to clarify principles of demarcation between scientific knowledge and other forms of knowledge. An important pay-off of such an analysis is given by its applications to Bioethics.
The analytic study of the foundations is supplemented by a historical consideration of the origin of scientific concepts in Western philosophical tradition. Special attention will be given to the biological works by Aristotle.
