DESCRIPTION
This course covers two major areas in philosophy, namely philosophy of science and (bio)ethics, in an unconventional way. We will engage with three designated "themes" that are relevant both to biomedical research (and medical practice) and to society at large and in which questions from both areas of philosophy are paramount. As such, the course doesn't provide a traditional overview of philosophy of science and bioethics, but let's you get acquainted with both areas in philosophy by exploring their relevance to your own field of study and to society at large.
