Course Descriptions - Science and Culture I: The Discourses of Modernity HSTC 3031   Science and Culture I: The Discourses of Modernity
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This class engages one of the main questions of our modern world: what is science and how does it relate to the rest of modernity? It explores the rise of a “scientific” world view, the clashes over methodologies, the disputed meanings of technology and the oppositions between the social/cultural and the natural, introducing recent crises of rationality and its defence.
