Different OBJECTIVES
Source=[Students completing this subject will come to a fuller understanding that Science is a remarkably complex and often beautiful result of a complex set of forces: conceptual considerations, empirical evidence, detailed critiques, as well as economic, social and individual factors. Students will better understand such vital philosophical issues as 'can Science prove a theory is true?' and 'what, if anything, is wrong with pseudo-science?' and historical and political issues as 'how closely do real scientists follow the 'scientific method?', 'is it ever reasonable to not believe what scientists say?', and 'what ought the role of science to be in society?'.]
