  • COR 402: Science and Human Nature: Physical Sciences

    4.00 Credits
    Oglethorpe University

    Modern western society is largely science-dominated and the consideration of science and its role in society is essential for any educated person. This core course investigates the practice of science by focusing specifically on scientific revolutions. It is during such periods of upheaval that we can most clearly see how science is actually practiced. What causes a new idea to challenge the scientific status quo? What determines whether the new idea will be accepted or not? When seeking new explanations for natural events, what guides the scientist's search? The goal of this course is to equip the student with the necessary tools and background to seek answers to these questions and others, for such questions are increasingly a part of each of our lives if we live those lives reflectively.
