Prüfungsstoff

Teaching consists in one unbroken 90-minute lecture. Students are required to contribute in a lively manner to discussions at all classes and to pass two tests, i.e. the midterm- and the endtest. There also exists the possibility of writing an assessed essay (4000 words) in substitution of the endtest.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students are required to hand in a mid- and an end- term assignment in writing. Grades will be awarded after having discussed those assignments in individual meetings. Assignments will be distributed on November 27th, 2015 (midterm assignment) and on January 15th, 2016 (end term assignment). Mid- and end term assignments contain about 6 questions each, of which the candidates are required to answer 5 of each assignment.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the wide-ranging problems and controversies in the philosophy of science and in particular in the logic of history. Although the course is mainly analytical its general approach is historical as well, and tries to provide an understanding of how problems and tentative solutions have developed in that field.
