https://members.phl.univie.ac.at/martinkusch/This course is an introduction to historical, philosophical and sociological studies of science based on influential texts and authors. Participants will read these texts, formulate written questions, and discuss the texts and these questions during the seminar. A further goal is the ability to write a scientific contribution (of the length of a journal article).If you want to get a feel for the course and the kind of reading it requires, you might want to check out this paper:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_scienceOr this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_scienceOr this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociology_of_scientific_knowledge
