• Philosophy of Science (in Italian) - Department of Digital Humanities, University of Pisa 

      Fall Semester 2023/24 (36 hours)

The course introduces students to critical thinking, with particular reference to the various types of inference used in science, and to the main topics in contemporary philosophy of science. First, we will study the ways in which scientists formulate their hypotheses, test them, and update their beliefs about the world. Second, issues such as the nature of scientific research, the problem of induction and empirical confirmation, Popper's falsificationism, and the relationship between science and society will be investigated.
