Humanities 207: Science and its Critics
November 13th, 2008 · Filed under: I'm a Freshman, I'm a Transfer Student, Registering for Classes
Prof. Phillip Thurtle visits the podcast to discuss his Winter quarter 2009 class, “Humanities 207: Science and its Critics.” In describing his course, he says, “we’re ALL going to need to know science at some level, in order to engage in science as the dominant belief system in society.” This is a team-taught course, with Prof. Maynard Olson (Medicine and Genome Sciences) and Prof. Phillip Thurtle (Comparative History of Ideas and History) engaging students in a stimulating examination of the position that science occupies in society. Does science have the answers for issues like global warming, hunger, and disease prevention and cure? What do we as a society expect of science?
The Danz Courses in the Humanities are made possible by the generous financial support of Frederic Danz, who attended the University of Washington and is a longtime benefactor of the humanities.
