Calendar description: this course examines how knowledge is produced in scientific disciplines, including the nature of inquiry, as well as types of evidence and expertise across different fields. The course features significant input from scientific practitioners in the form of guest lectures. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that examines the nature of knowledge. ), this course will examine the production and products of disciplinary knowledge (scientific questions like, from what is this dagger made?). Integ 220 focuses on epistemological questions about the natural and physical sciences, while integ 221 will emphasize the humanities and social sciences (and, in particular, the social nature of knowledge). Following the final guest lecturer, you will work in small groups to synthesize what you have learned by comparing the nature of knowledge in each discipline.
