The following lectures on day 1 and 2 will take up philosophical questions about method and truth in relation to natural science, social science, and the humanities, rounding off with a discussion of general research ethics.
1100-1545 (Lunch 1200-1300): Jonathan Knowles: Philosophy of Science: Objectivity, Method, and Truth
1300-1500: Ståle Rainer Strøm Finke: The Role of the Body and Literacy in Research
This session deals with two enabling factors within science and their impact on our understanding of science: The body and literacy.
- What role does the body play in the production of scientific knowledge?
- How does the customary association between literacy and academic knowledge influence how we theorize about science?
- What if things were different – what can we learn from knowledge systems that incorporate the knowing body in more articulate ways than we usually do in the Western academic tradition, without any involvement of literacy?
