Explore the RSE school talks on religious and moral education.
Professor Michela Massimi FRSE
What counts as evidence in science? How do scientific disagreements get resolved? And is truth the final goal of science? In this interactive talk, we address these important philosophical questions about science and get acquainted with episodes from the history of science that can help us gain a better understanding of the role of evidence, progress and truth in science.
Professor Michela Massimi FRSE
Who is a philosopher? And why are philosophers interested in science? Learn about how the Scottish philosopher David Hume questioned the nature of causation and how the Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell used models to explore the nature of electromagnetic phenomena. In this interactive talk, we will explore some of the mind-boggling ideas and philosophical problems behind science.
