LBED4850A - Critical Approaches to Knowledge
LBED4850A - Critical Approaches to Knowledge
Instructor: Richard Delisle
Day/Time: Thursdays (18:00 - 20:50)
Prerequisite(s): Two LBED courses or 3rd year standing
The last decades have shown us that our view of science keeps changing as seen in three main successive yet overlapping intellectual movements: positivism, post-positivism, and postmodernism. In the process, not only was it realized that knowledge building is a complex business but also that an ever more critical view of science could lead to its very negation. Through numerous and selective readings, the merits and limitations of each of these three main intellectual movements will be exposed, analyzed, and debated. Examples will be taken from a broad range of scientific disciplines. This seminar-like course requires an active participation of students for the readings, text analyses, class discussions, and oral presentations.
