Anything Goes? Truth and Progress in Science and Society
Seminar
Discuss provocative ideas and challenge conventional views on truth and scientific change in a free society. Are the ideas of truth and reason able to navigate us through the sea of alternatives and contradicting information? Is there one truth or many? Is there a crisis of knowledge? How real is reality? Can relativism explain different cultures and societies? What determines the quest for knowledge in science: “Trial and Error” or “Anything Goes”?
