课程名称：哲学、科学与宗教：科学与哲学 课程概述：哲学、科学和宗教是我们思考世界及其在其中位置的三种基本方式。这些方式是否不兼容？是否理智的选择是“选边站”并排斥其他观点？还是它们是互补或彼此支持的？要回答这些重大问题，细节至关重要。我们将探讨这三种探究世界的方式的独特之处，并研究当今一些哲学、科学和宗教领域的领先思想家的工作。 本课程名为“科学与哲学”，是我们哲学、科学与宗教在线系列的三门相关课程中的第一门。第一期课程现已关闭注册。我们将在2018年7月推出新版本。课程将重点探讨四个主题，由客座讲师主讲： 1. 科学与宗教存在冲突吗？（迈克尔·穆雷教授，富兰克林与马歇尔学院） 2. 神经科学与自由意志（阿尔·梅尔教授，佛罗里达州立大学） 3. 创造论与进化生物学——科学还是伪科学？（马克·哈里斯博士和大卫·德·波默赖博士，爱丁堡大学） 4. 科学声明构成绝对真理吗？（马丁·库施教授，维也纳大学） 哲学、科学与宗教系列的第二门和第三门课程是“哲学与宗教”和“宗教与科学”。这些课程可以任意顺序修读，完成所有三门课程将帮助你更全面地理解这一引人入胜的话题。请查找： - 哲学、科学与宗教 II：哲学与宗教 - 哲学、科学与宗教 III：宗教与科学 欢迎观看我们的预告片以了解更多信息： https://youtu.be/OifqTI5VKek 你也可以在推特上关注我们：https://twitter.com/EdiPhilOnline，使用话题标签 #psrmooc 课程大纲： - 名称：哲学、科学与宗教：介绍与概述 描述：本模块由奥雷斯季斯·帕莱莫斯博士提供，本课程“科学与哲学”将讨论的关键主题的简要介绍和概述。 - 名称：神经科学与自由意志 描述：阿尔·梅尔教授介绍了旨在表明自由意志不存在的实验，并对这种证据的解读提出了三条批评意见。 - 名称：科学与宗教存在冲突吗？ 描述：客座讲师：迈克尔·穆雷博士，探讨科学与宗教是否相容，并提供有关这一复杂问题的哲学分析。 - 名称：科学声明构成绝对真理吗？ 描述：客座讲师：马丁·库施教授，探讨科学知识的中心挑战——是否存在绝对真实的科学声明。 - 名称：进化与创造论 描述：本模块开始于马克·哈里斯博士讲授创造论的历史及不同创造论者对进化的看法，随后大卫·德·波默赖教授解释进化生物学的概念。
Name:Philosophy, Science and Religion: Introduction and Overview
Description:In this module, Dr Orestis Palermos provides a short introduction and overview of the key themes that will be discussed in the ‘Science and Philosophy’ course.
Name:Neuroscience and Free Will
Description:In this module Professor Al Mele presents experiments that purport to show that there is no such thing as free will. He then presents three criticisms of this interpretation of the evidence.
Name:Are Science and Religion in Conflict?
Description:Guest lecturer: Dr Michael Murray. Are science and religion compatible with one another? Are they incompatible? What do these questions even mean, and how do we go about answering them? Philosophical tools are helpful to make progress with these very important questions. In this module, Dr Michael Murray offers a philosophical analysis of the complex and easily misunderstood issue of the relationship between science and religion.
Name:Do Scientific Claims Constitute Absolute Truths?
Description:Guest lecturer: Professor Martin Kusch. This module will focus on a central challenge for scientific knowledge: Are there any scientific claims that are absolutely true, or are they all true relative to the system of thought that generated them? If we accept the latter, does this also hold true of any claims we might make, including within the domains of philosophy and religion?
Name:Evolution and Creationism
Description:This module starts with Dr. Mark Harris presenting the history of creationist views and what is claimed about evolution by different creationist approaches. Professor David de Pomerai then goes on to explain what evolutionary biology is.
Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to ‘pick sides’ and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or, are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to work out what is really distinctive about each of these ways of inquiring about the world. In order to gain some clarity here, we’ll be investigating what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing. This course, entitled ‘Science and Philosophy’, is the first of three related courses in our Philosophy, Science and Religion Online series. The first launch is now closed to enrolments. We will launch a new version of the course in July 2018. The course will address four themes each presented by guest lecturers: 1. Are Science and Religion in conflict? (Professor Michael Murray, Franklin & Marshall) 2. Neuroscience and Free Will (Professor Al Mele, Florida State) 3. Creationism and Evolutionary Biology--Science or Pseudo-science? (Dr. Mark Harris and Dr. David de Pomerai, University of Edinburgh) 4. Do Scientific claims constitute absolute truths? (Professor Martin Kusch, University of Vienna) The second and third courses in the Philosophy, Science and Religion series are ‘Philosophy and Religion’ and ‘Religion and Science’. They may be taken in any order and completing all three courses will give you a broader understanding of this fascinating topic.
