Details	Philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment express views on topics in the philosophy of science, like a possible scientific explanation of the mind and its interaction with the body, whether causal explanations in science are objectively valid, whether mathematical premises (like the exioms of Euclid) are merely hypothetical constructs of self evident claims, the nature of scientific explanation, and the nature of space and time. Does modern science refute or support these views? The course also provides a good introduction to philosophers from Descartes to Kant.(F)
