Learning objectives

The course is an introduction to the Contemporary Philosophy of Science, with the aim of highlighting the most meaningful moments in the development of the Science and the philosophical issues which are involved in. Expected outcomes:
• to be able to critically examine the fundamental assumptions of Positivism, the relationship between the twentieth century “linguistic turn” of Philosophy and the Philosophy of Science and, finally, the implications of the sociological methodology when applied to epistemological subjects, in order to
• understand the conceptual grounds of the Philosophy of Science (i.e., realism, objectivity, experimental evidence, limits of validity, etc.);
• to master the Epistemological lexicon;
• to actively participate in the debates concerning developments (even the most recent ones) in the field of the Philosophy of Science.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The course is an introduction to the Contemporary Philosophy of Science, with the aim of highlighting the most meaningful moments in the development of the Science and the philosophical issues which are involved in. Expected outcomes:
• to be able to critically examine the fundamental assumptions of Positivism, the relationship between the twentieth century “linguistic turn” of Philosophy and the Philosophy of Science and, finally, the implications of the sociological methodology when applied to epistemological subjects, in order to
• understand the conceptual grounds of the Philosophy of Science (i.e., realism, objectivity, experimental evidence, limits of validity, etc.);
• to master the Epistemological lexicon;
• to actively participate in the debates concerning developments (even the most recent ones) in the field of the Philosophy of Science.

Program

The course aims to give answers (certainly not definitive) to a fundamental question: What is the value of science in the contemporary debate? To tackle this problem, understand its scope and stimulate curiosity, we will study a specific case: computer science as information science. We will see how this "new" science was born and place it in the broader history of science, what are its epistemological foundations, its limits, its ambitions towards an artificial intelligence, and how this is placed in the economic, ethical, and social context.
Course content:
1) Positivism and determinism: automata, machines, constructivism: from C. Babbage to A. Turing
2) Language and specification: syntax and semantics: machines, languages, data, algorithms, computing
3) The limits of computable: Information and computational thinking, substitutability, falsifiability, objectification of information, Data-Science vs Computer Science
4) Artificial Intelligence e philosophy
5) Ethics and digital philosophy

Didactic methods

DIDACTIC METHODS
The teaching methods consist of frontal lessons which will be devoted to the study of the philosophical bases of computer science as information science, its genesis within the debate on the foundations of mathematics of the early 1900s, its history, and its current evolution, yet focusing on epistemological aspects, ethical and social aspects of this "new" science.
The lectures also make use of slides, in order to make learning clearer and more immediate and stimulate the active participation of students. In this regard, students are encouraged to carry out seminar activities regarding topics agreed with the teacher and related to the program of the course: these seminar activities will be recognized during the exam. An individual reception service is also available throughout the academic year at the teacher's office, at the times indicated on the web pages of the course.
At the first lesson, students will receive the complete calendar of teaching activities with the dates and topics covered in the lessons for which the timetable and classroom are provided. Any suspension of lessons by the teacher for academic reasons will be promptly communicated both in the classroom and on the website or other platforms agreed with the students.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam consists in an individual seminar on topics covered in class and agreed with the teacher.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The seminar lasting 20mins will have to frame the problem in the historical-cultural context of reference (30% of the evaluation), deal analytically with the various aspects relating to the problem, eg. methodologies used and socio-cultural impact (20% of the evaluation) and outline scenarios of philosophical interest related to the problem dealt with (50% of the evaluation). To carry out the seminar, students will be able to use slides or other multimedia material.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The seminar lasting 20mins will have to frame the problem in the historical-cultural context of reference (30% of the evaluation), deal analytically with the various aspects relating to the problem, eg. methodologies used and socio-cultural impact (20% of the evaluation) and outline scenarios of philosophical interest related to the problem dealt with (50% of the evaluation). To carry out the seminar, students will be able to use slides or other multimedia material.

Type D and Type F activities

Una quota dei crediti corrispondenti all’attività formativa dell’intero biennio, determinata dal presente Regolamento in 12 (dodici) CFU, è riservata alla scelta autonoma da parte della/o studente. I crediti liberi a scelta della/o studente hanno lo scopo di offrire alla/o studente la possibilità di personalizzare il proprio percorso formativo permettendo di approfondire uno o più argomenti di particolare interesse legati al proprio percorso accademico. Questa scelta può essere orientata verso corsi/esami non seguiti/sostenuti in precedenza, verso altre attività (tirocinio, laboratori, tutorati, ulteriori competenze linguistiche, seminari/convegni – tutti preventivamente approvati dal Collegio Didattico di Filosofia).
Tra i 12 (dodici) crediti dovrà comunque essere presente almeno un’attività formativa erogata come esame universitario (con relativo voto in trentesimi), salvo nel caso in cui la/o studente decida di frequentare la Summer School Interdisciplinare di Dipartimento in Lingua Inglese “Human Sciences and Society” e di chiederne il riconoscimento, saturando così i 12 CFU in ambito D, oppure di estendere la durata della propria esperienza di Tirocinio curricolare e desideri vedersi riconosciuti i corrispondenti CFU in esubero (rispetto ai 6 previsti) in ambito D (senza che essi possano fare media), invece che fuori piano (vedasi la Nota 1 nelle Linee Guida Tirocinio Curricolare riportate nella relativa pagina web del CdS).
Tale riconoscimento in ambito D è possibile, da Regolamento di Ateneo, senza limitazioni (quindi per l’intero ammontare dei CFU previsti in questo ambito).
In conformità al dettato del D.M. 270/04 e alla luce delle raccomandazioni espresse dal D.M. 26 luglio 2007, capo 3 lettera n), la scelta, che non può essere predeterminata, deve comunque essere ispirata a coerenza col piano formativo della/o studente e sarà perciò soggetta a valutazione da parte del Collegio Didattico con riferimento all’adeguatezza delle motivazioni fornite dalla/o studente. Ciò vale, in special modo, per la richiesta di riconoscimento in ambito D dei CFU relativi al prolungamento dell’attività di Tirocinio: essa deve essere sostenuta da adeguate motivazioni che il Tutor accademico incaricato di seguire la/o studente tirocinante si riserva di esaminare e valutare congiuntamente alla Commissione Tirocini.
Si invitano inoltre le/gli studenti a rispettare le seguenti indicazioni per il completamento di tale ambito D:
- massimo 6 CFU relativi a competenze linguistiche (oltre a quelli previsti dal Piano di Studio);
- massimo 6 CFU di attività laboratoriale/esercitazioni;
- massimo 6 CFU di attività seminariale/convegni/cicli di incontri/formative in genere (sia accreditata dal Dipartimento di Scienze Umane che extrauniversitaria);
- non vengono valutate attività svolte in Erasmus che non siano state inserite nei Learning Agreement;
- vengono riconosciuti CFU in ambito D per attività formative universitarie organizzate da altri Dipartimenti dell’Ateneo di Verona o da altri Atenei solo per quelle attività che siano state oggetto (da parte del relativo Referente/Responsabile) di richiesta preventiva di accreditamento al Dipartimento di Scienze Umane e abbiano ricevuto l’approvazione di quest’ultimo.
In questa pagina lo studente potrà trovare delle guide operative, utili al completamento del proprio percorso universitario.
