Description
In this podcast we begin by dissecting the naive view of science and distinguish "real science" from pseudo-science. Next we review John Kemeny's deconstruction of science in order to gain a more realistic understand of how science gains knowledge. This basic revamped view of science is expanded upon by drawing upon the ideas of Bronowski (the notion of certainty), Popper (the concept of falsifiability) and Kuhn (the nature of scientific systems and their paradigms). The aim is to provide you with a more sophisticated view of the natural sciences.
