Overview

Beschreibung:
In this seminar, we will trace the development of empiricism from its early modern origins to its place in contemporary philosophy of science. We will begin with a brief survey of British empiricism-John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume-before turning to the rise of logical empiricism in the early 20th century, followed by constructive empiricism in the work of Bas C. van Fraassen, and other empiricist strands shaped by discussions of theory change in science. While following this historical trajectory, we will also take a conceptual approach, focusing on strands of empiricism that remain relevant to contemporary philosophy of science. This dual perspective will allow us to assess how different empiricist traditions interpret science and the nature of scientific knowledge. Readings will include both primary sources and secondary commentary, enabling critical engagement with arguments for and against empiricism in its various forms.
