Learning outcomes

This course intends to explore the impact of modern science on traditional views of the cosmos and on ideas about man's place in nature. It also aims at showing to what extent scientific culture was linked both to social and material setting in which scientists worked. For students in Philosophy, Literature and Art History this course is an opportunity to explore the manifold connections between their disciplinary interests and the rise of modern science. Moreover, they will acquire a deeper sensitivity toward the cognitive and social processes that generate scientific innovation, enabling them to develop a critical attitude that it is essential to excercise citizenship.
