In this highly requested solo episode I present an introduction to the Philosophy of Science.
I’ve explored some of these ideas in some tiktok videos, and have mentioned them in other episodes tangentially, giving brief explanations. In this episode, I offer a short crash-course into some of those key ideas.
We will ask ourselves what Science fundamentally is? What separates it from other kinds of knowledge? How do we justify scientific knowledge - that is, how does science fundamentally work, what makes it so successful?
I'll be primarily looking at the work of two philosophers who give two radically different, but both quite persuasive, accounts of science - Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn.
If you'd like to read further on this, some books mentioned:
The Knowledge Machine - Michael Strevens
What Is This Thing Called Science? - Alan Chalmers
The Logic of Scientific Discovery - Karl Popper
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions - Thomas Kuhn
Also note - I'll likely be switching to a fortnightly schedule for the forseeable future, just to make sure I can keep the quality of these episodes high while keeping up with everything else. It'll also allow me to edit together clips for YouTube and more tightly edit interviews.
