Philosophy of science examines and explain the nature of science and its distinctive features among forms of human inquiry. Distinguishing genuine science from activities that cannot be called scientific is closely linked to characterization of the scientific method. This course introduces the core issues in the philosophy of science, the debates about the nature of the scientific method, theories of confirmation, and the demarcation of science from non-science.
