This course offers a deep dive into the fascinating world of scientific reasoning and the relationship between scientific theories and reality. Are you curious about how scientists come up with theories and how they relate to the world around us? Are you interested in understanding the backbone of scientific inference and the role of observation and language in this process?

This course is designed for anyone interested in understanding the relationship between scientific theories and reality, and the backbone of scientific inference. We will explore the philosophical stream of Logical Empiricism or Positivism, which was prominent in the 20th century and played a key role in the emergence of the philosophy of science.

It is also designed for anyone with a curiosity about the foundations of science and will cover a range of thought-provoking topics such as:

Uncovering the link between language and reality
Decoding the connection between observation and theory formation
Investigating the interplay between causation and induction
Analyzing the inner workings of human reasoning
Examining the process of forming ideas from sensory impressions
Understanding the problem of induction and assessing the truth or falsity of synthetic propositions
Examining the contribution of philosophy to the foundation of science
Exploring the strict empirical stance towards language and its concepts for the formation of theories
Analyzing the verifiability principle and the criterion of verifiability
Understanding how formal methods influenced the Logical Positivists.

This course promises to be a stimulating and engaging journey through the history and philosophy of science that will leave you with a deeper understanding of the scientific process and the role of observation and language in shaping our understanding of the world.
