Aims, contents and method of the course
The Philosophy of Science Colloquium has two parts: the first part includes lectures delivered by guest speakers, while the second part consists of seminar meetings. This semester the topic is "Models and Representations", with a special focus on the debate between representationalist and non-representationalist approaches to physical theories, especially quantum mechanics.
