Philosophy for Science II: What Must the World Be Like? Course/Class May 1, 2012

Science is a 'methodology': a particular way of observing and explaining the world, of answering the one big question: 'What must the world be like, in order that it produce the phenomena we observe?' Part two of this four part series applies the language and logic of Science to the task of distilling from our observations of worldly affairs the fundamental elements of 'reality' - of what the world must, or at least must not, be like - and to construct from them a reasonable model of the physical world. With surprising results: for it turns out we know more than we think, but things are not as they seem! Details of this event may be subject to change.
