Honors Natural Science Perspectives is a study of the scientific approach, its limits, and what distinguishes it from other approaches to understanding the world. While examining contemporary issues in science, students will explore the philosophical and historical origins of the scientific method, compare scientific investigations to other forms of human intellectual activity and form an appreciation for the proper domain and the limits of each. Students will learn to recognize the power of quantifying scientific observations, the role of mathematical procedures and instrumentation in modern science, and should come to appreciate science as a means of acquiring human knowledge of the material universe. Particular attention will be paid to the changes in worldviews that accompany new knowledge in the natural sciences and how these changes affect their contemporary cultures. The writing of great thinkers debating these struggles will be featured prominently.
