课程名称：哲学与科学：物理科学哲学导论 课程概述：宇宙的起源是什么？暗物质和暗能量又是什么？本课程是《哲学与科学》系列的第一部分，专注于物理科学的哲学。物理科学领域的科学研究引发了哲学家们关注的紧迫问题。课程的目标是介绍哲学与物理科学交叉的重要领域和主题。每周我们将探讨一些科学研究前沿的重要问题。 我们将以简单易懂的方式解释每个主题背后的科学，同时讨论由其引发的哲学和概念性问题。我们将考虑关于宇宙的起源与演化、暗能量和暗物质的本质、以及人择推理在宇宙解释中的角色等问题。 学习目标： - 在哲学与科学交汇的选定领域和主题上获得全面的视角 - 理解自然科学中出现的一些关键问题和概念性问题 - 培养评估和批判这些问题的能力 推荐阅读： 为了配合《哲学与科学》课程，我们高兴地宣布推出一本名为《人人可懂的哲学与科学》的书，这本书由爱丁堡哲学与科学团队专为MOOC学生编写。该书包含清晰易懂的章节、章节摘要、词汇表、学习问题、进一步阅读的建议以及在线资源的指南。请注意，这本伴随书籍为可选资源，完成课程所需的所有资源均可在课程网站上免费获取。 课程大纲： 第1部分：科学是什么？（Michela Massimi 和 Duncan Pritchard） 描述：科学哲学导论：科学知识的性质、科学方法的争论以及确定性不足问题。 第2部分：宇宙的起源（Michela Massimi 和 John Peacock） 描述：我们的宇宙是如何形成和演化的？真的存在“大爆炸”吗？在此之前发生了什么？ 第3部分：暗物质与暗能量（Michela Massimi 和 John Peacock） 描述：根据目前宇宙学的公认模型，我们的宇宙由5%的普通物质、25%的冷暗物质和70%的暗能量构成。那么，暗物质和暗能量究竟是什么样的存在？ 第4部分：哲学与科学第二部分 描述：待更新。

Part: 4
Title:Philosophy and the Sciences Part 2
Description:
What is the origin of our universe? What are dark matter and dark energy? This is the first part of the course 'Philosophy and the Sciences', dedicated to Philosophy of the Physical Sciences. Scientific research across the physical sciences has raised pressing questions for philosophers. The goal of this course is to introduce you to some of the main areas and topics at the key juncture between philosophy and the physical sciences. Each week we will introduce you to some of these important questions at the forefront of scientific research. We will explain the science behind each topic in a simple, non-technical way, while also addressing the philosophical and conceptual questions arising from it. We’ll consider questions about the origin and evolution of our universe, the nature of dark energy and dark matter and the role of anthropic reasoning in the explanation of our universe. Learning Objectives Gain a fairly well-rounded view on selected areas and topics at the intersection of philosophy and the sciences Understand some key questions, and conceptual problems arising in the natural sciences. Develop critical skills to evaluate and assess these problems. Suggested Reading To accompany 'Philosophy and the Sciences', we are pleased to announce a tie-in book from Routledge entitled 'Philosophy and the Sciences for Everyone'. This course companion to the 'Philosophy and the Sciences' course was written by the Edinburgh Philosophy and the Sciences team expressly with the needs of MOOC students in mind. 'Philosophy and the Sciences for Everyone' contains clear and user-friendly chapters, chapter summaries, glossary, study questions, suggestions for further reading and guides to online resources. Please note, this companion book is optional - all the resources needed to complete the course are available freely and listed on the course site.
