CGS HIS 272 History and Culture of the Sciences
3 cr.
This course will examine, in a historical context , how science has been constructed and how it has interacted with other aspects of society, such as politics, religion, culture, and economics. These themes will be addressed by closely studying two transformations in scientific and human thought: first, the shift from an Earth-centered to a sun-centered universe, and second, the development of the theory of Evolution by natural selection. Finally, we will briefly consider the emergence of new major scientific and cultural transitions which are now occurring.
Prerequisites: none.
