| Course Objectives: | This course aims to expose the important phases of the scientific developments especially the Scientific Revolution. In the course, there will be a detailed description of the historical accounts, cultural essences and political facts that affected and defined the science in the forementioned period. |
| Course Content: | History of science offers us a great chance to observe and comprehend the footsteps of the mankind’s struggle on the earth and his attempts to learn the secrets of the universe. Since the birth of the civilization, there have been different periods that is worth to study in terms of the evolution of science. Especially, the Scientific Revolution that took place between 16th and 17th centuries is a period that paved way to the contemporary science we enjoy today. This period’s distinguished scientist fought against the dogmatic views of their time to understand the world they lived on and beyond. Science and Society in the Modern Times course will mainly focus on the Scientific Revolution and the following scientific periods such as the Industrial Revoultion and more. |
