The aim of this course is to introduce students to the wide ranging problems and controversies in the philosophy of history, the logic of history (critical philosophy of history) as well as to different research conceptions defended in history. It aims at providing an understanding of how problem situations, problems and tentative solutions have developed in those fields. Diligent students will learn to make sense of and evaluate the historical background, achievements, main criticisms and later developments of those controversies which implicitly still cover much ground in temporary discussions.
content:
Problems discussed are: explanation of change, philosophies of history and research conceptions in history, philosophical essentialism and philosophical nominalism as basis for anti-naturalistic research conceptions and pronaturalistic research conceptions, positions of antinaturalistic research conceptions, positions of pronaturalistic research conceptions, structure of satisfactory explanations in the theoretical sciences and in history, problems of induction and demarcation, solutions of the problem of induction and demarcation, situational analysis and the methodology of history, progress of science and historical analysis.
Method
Teaching consists in one unbroken 90-minute lecture. Students are invited to prepare for the lecture on the basis of literature issued in advance of the lecture
