Philosophy of Science

Description

The Philosophy of Science course is a Philosophy course with the field of study being Science. For non-philosophy (Cultural Sciences) students, this course is intended to provide some basic insights in understanding their respective scientific positions in the midst of a broad scientific treasury. Therefore, lecture materials are avoided from pure philosophy lecture material and are more directed towards an orientation of opening insights (open mind) about several important things related to Science. These basic things are Knowledge, Philosophy, Religion, and some enlightening critical debates, as well as some discourses about the changing paradigm of sciences ranging from very strict scientific to random searches for truth in non-scientific spaces. In the last four meetings, students are more invited to realize the relevance of the philosophy of science and its ethical application in the humanities. In short, this course is intended to make humanities students not narrow in their view of science, but open to the diversity of sciences that are currently developing very rapidly and specifically. The specification of the science they are studying is just one small field that must make peace and be brothers and sisters with other sciences.
beberapa wawasan dasar dalam memahami posisi keilmuan masing-masing di tengah
khazanah keilmuan yang luas. Oleh karena itu, materi-materi perkuliahan dihindarkan dari
materi kuliah filsafat murni dan lebih diarahkan pada orientasi pembukaan wawasan (open
mind) tentang beberapa hal penting terkait Ilmu. Hal-hal mendasar itu adalah Pengetahuan, Filsafat, Agama, dan beberapa perdebatan kritis yang mencerahkan, serta beberapa diskursus
tentang perubahan paradigma ilmu-ilmu mulai dari yang sangat ketat ilmiah hingga pencarian
kebenaran secara acak di ruang-ruang non ilmiah. Pada empat pertemuan terakhir, mahasiswa lebih diajak untuk menyadari relevansi filsafat ilmu dan etika penerapannya di
dalam ilmu-ilmu humaniora. Singkatnya, mata kuliah Ini dimaksudkan supaya mahasiswa ilmuilmu humaniora tidak sempit memandang ilmu, tapi terbuka pada keragaman ilmu yang
dewasa ini berkembang sangat pesat dan spesifik. Spesifikasi ilmu yang mereka tekuni
hanyalah salah satu bidang kecil yang mesti berdamai dan bersaudara dengan ilmu-ilmu
lain.
